The Stellar Luminosity Function
... Moat text-books on astronomy state that the sun is a middle-sized star. This may be true when one compares it to the relative sizes of super-giants and white dwarfs. But how does the sun compare with the majority of stars? To answer this, I decided to calculate the stellar luminosity function as wel ...
