Altair or Alpha Aquilae (Alp Aql) is the brightest naked eye star in the constellation Aquila. With an apparent magnitude of 0.76v, Altair is the 12th brightest star in the entire sky (see: 50 Brightest Stars). Its absolute magnitude is 2.2 and its distance is 16.8 light years. The Equinox J2000 equatorial coordinates are RA = 19h 50m 47.0s, Dec = +08Â° 52' 06. Altair has a spectral type of A7V, a surface temperature of 7500Â° Kelvin and a luminosity 10.6 times the Sun.
In astronomy, magnitude is a logarithmic measure of the brightness of an object in a defined passband, often in the visible or infrared spectrum, but sometimes across all wavelengths. An imprecise but systematic determination of the magnitude of objects was introduced in ancient times by Hipparchus. Astronomers use two different definitions of magnitude: apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. The apparent magnitude is the brightness of an object as it appears in the night sky from Earth, whi
