I know the formula is L=M^3.5, but how do you plug in the numbers?How to figure out the luminosity of a star?Just get a good set of star charts, the magnitude of stars are listed on them.
There are some star charts on line that you can download for freeHow to figure out the luminosity of a star?Half as massive?
