What the hell is a Johnson V Magnitude?

Is the Johnson V Magnitude the same as the Apparent Magnitude? I don't think it is. Are they related?
 

Discussion



Johnson V magnitude is measured using a filter that 'clips' light frequencies save those in in the human visual range [hence the 'V' designation]. They are widely used in photometric studies.
