The Properties of Stars
... P is the orbital period of the stars and a is the average distance between them. Because the masses of stars are very large, but a relatively small multiple of the mass of the Sun, it is convenient to use solar mass units. In that case, Kepler’s third law is ...

Luminosity and brightness
... Luminosity is a measure of the total energy given output by a star at all wavelengths form gamma radiation to radio waves. For example the Sun gives out about 500 million million million MJ of energy every second so its luminosity is 500 million million million MJ. The luminosity depends on: (a) the ...
