Luminosity of star from absolute magnitude ========================================== The luminosity of a star can be calculated from the absolute magnitude of the star. **Notation:** #. :math:`L_0` (:code:`L_0`) is :attr:`~symplyphysics.quantities.zero_point_luminosity`. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia, last formula in paragraph `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.astronomy.luminosity_of_star_from_absolute_magnitude .. py:data:: luminosity :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.astronomy.luminosity` of the star.
