| Aug 13, 2020 at 8:36 | comment | added | CGHA | Distance Modulus only takes the Apparent "Visual" Magnitude (using our eyes)...the V-band data is basically a standard passband on the "Visual spectrum" (using CCDs/DSLRs) and I don't think that the V-band optical photometry isn't applicable to the equation. | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 8:26 | comment | added | planetmaker | For my understanding of your question: you have V-band photometry data on the star - but you are concerned that you cannot use it to derive a magnitude and subsequently a luminosity? Where is the difference between the brightness derived from V-band data and the visual magnitude? Thx for the hint with 'Alf' = Alpha. One never stops to learn, though this curls my nails ;) | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 8:21 | comment | added | CGHA | but yep, it is pretty much standard tho. c: Kinda seems strange at first. | |

| Aug 13, 2020 at 8:19 | comment | added | user24157 | @planetmaker - "alf" is pretty standard, e.g. SIMBAD uses it. | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 8:17 | comment | added | CGHA | ah yah it is a strange abbreviation haha (Even AAVSO and VSX does that). I should have indicated "a" instead lol. But I do not need distance at all since I do have the value for that. I think what matters most is to get the "L"..and getting the L through the optical standard passband is a little bit problematic for me C: | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 8:04 | comment | added | planetmaker | If you need a distance, it doesn't matter how it was derived as the object ultimately can only have one distance (it only matters for error estimates). Btw: Alf is a very strange abbreviation for alpha | |
