2. Star A has magnitudes of BA = 8.4 and VA = 7.7 and Star B has magnitudes of BB = 7.4 and VB = 6.2. Their bolometric corrections are BCA = -0.2 and BCB = -1.1 and parallaxes are: TA = 24 mas, JB = 468 mas. A. What is the ratio of their fluxes through the V-filter? Which star appears brighter in V? B. What is the absolute V magnitude of each star? Which star is intrinsically brighter? C. Which star appears bluer? Why? D. What is the luminosity of each star in solar luminosity units (Sun's Mbol = 4.74)
