Absolute magnitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astronomy, absolute magnitude (also known as absolute visual magnitude when measured in the standard V phometric band) measures a celestial object's intrinsic brightness. To derive the absolute...

Today, there are stars known to be brighter than magnitude 1. For instance Vega (alpha Lyrae) has a visual magnitude of 0. Any other star brighter than Vega will have a negative value for its magnitude. ... For example, the Sun has an apparent magnitude of -26.7 (because it's very, very close) and an absolute magnitude of +4...

The apparent magnitude of the Sun is listed as -26.74. ... Thus, we now define a difference of five "magnitudes" as exactly equal to a brightness ratio of 100. Furthermore, we tie the whole scale to the star Vega, which is defined to have a magnitude of 0 (or very close to it, at any rate -- modern, precise readjustments of...

The scale is calibrated to the bright star Vega which is defined to have a magnitude of 0. For reference, the faintest naked-eye magnitude visible from a dark site is +6. Comet C/1996 B2 Hyakutake reached magnitude 0 in late March 1996. ... Apparent visual magnitudes of known celestial objects...

the most familiar of these stars is Vega (α Lyrae). This star has a magnitude of 0.03 in each of the UBVRI channels. The visual magnitude scale is defined to match the photographic magnitude system developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
