Astronomers usually measure the flux of an object by collecting light with a telescope, sending it through a known filter, and then determining the power. ... But astronomers usually give their photometric results in terms of magnitudes. ... Astronomers define an absolute magnitude that is independent of the distance of a star and only depends on the intrinsic properties of the object: the absolute magnitude is the magnitude the star would have if it were 10 parsecs away from the Earth. ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...
