  2. Bode plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plot

    The Bode magnitude plot is the graph of the ... the best way to correct the plot is to actually calculate the magnitude of the transfer function at the pole or zero ...

  3. Absolute magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_magnitude

    For objects within the immediate neighborhood of the Sun, the absolute magnitude M and apparent magnitude m from any distance d (in parsecs, with 1 pc = 3.2616 light-years) are related by = = (), where F is the radiant flux measured at distance d (in parsecs), F 10 the radiant flux measured at distance 10 pc.

  4. Magnitude (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(astronomy)

    An illustration of light sources from magnitude 1 to 3.5, in 0.5 increments. In astronomy, magnitude is a measure of the brightness of an object, usually in a defined passband. An imprecise but systematic determination of the magnitude of objects was introduced in ancient times by Hipparchus. Magnitude values do not have a unit.

  5. Magnitude (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the magnitude or size of a mathematical object is a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind. More formally, an object's magnitude is the displayed result of an ordering (or ranking) of the class of objects to which it belongs.

  6. Hertzsprung–Russell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertzsprung–Russell_diagram

    The apparent magnitude of stars in the same cluster is equivalent to their absolute magnitude and so this early diagram was effectively a plot of luminosity against temperature. The same type of diagram is still used today as a means of showing the stars in clusters without having to initially know their distance and luminosity. [ 4 ]

  7. Lissajous curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_curve

    A Lissajous figure, made by releasing sand from a container at the end of a Blackburn pendulum. A Lissajous curve / ˈ l ɪ s ə ʒ uː /, also known as Lissajous figure or Bowditch curve / ˈ b aʊ d ɪ tʃ /, is the graph of a system of parametric equations

  8. Hall circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_circles

    Nichols plot of the transfer function 1/s(1+s)(1+2s) along with the modified M and N circles. To use the Hall circles, a plot of M and N circles is done over the Nyquist plot of the open-loop transfer function. The points of the intersection between these graphics give the corresponding value of the closed-loop transfer function.

  9. Bolometric correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolometric_correction

    The bolometric correction scale is set by the absolute magnitude of the Sun and an adopted (arbitrary) absolute bolometric magnitude for the Sun.Hence, while the absolute magnitude of the Sun in different filters is a physical and not arbitrary quantity, the absolute bolometric magnitude of the Sun is arbitrary, and so the zero-point of the bolometric correction scale that follows from it.
