Apparent Magnitude Distance
由视星等与绝对星等差求天体距离。
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Distance modulus | m − M = 5·log₁₀(d/10pc) | Pogson 1856 / standard-candle method |
| Absolute magnitude | Apparent magnitude at 10 pc | IAU magnitude definition |

Note: the distance modulus m − M = 5·log₁₀(d/10 pc) does not include interstellar or atmospheric extinction; add the extinction correction A for real observations.
