luminosity radiation measurement Total radiant energy output per second (absolute brightness, usually expressed in ergs s^-1 or in magnitudes). L = 4πR²σT⁴ (see Stefan's law).

intrinsic luminosity luminosity The energy per second emitted by an astronomical object, analogous to the wattage of a light bulb.
