A –
Absolute The apparent magnitude that a star
magnitude
would have if it were observed from a
standard distance of 10 parsecs, or 32.6 light–
years. The absolute magnitude of the Sun is
4.8. at a distance of 10 parsecs, it would just
be visible on Earth on a clear moonless night
away from surface light.
Airy disk The apparent size of a star’s disk produced
even by a perfect optical system. Since the
star can never be focused perfectly, 84% of
the light will concentrate into a single disk,
and 16 % into a system of surrounding rings.
Alt–Azimuth A telescope mounting using two
Mounting
independent rotation axes allowing
movement of the instrument in Altitude
and Azimuth.
Altitude In astronomy, the altitude of a celestial object
is its Angular Distance above or below the
celestial horizon.
