There is a lack of oxygen in the flame itself (most probably because of the air holes in the Bunsen burner or of your burning device) this effect would create a luminous flame (better known as a yellow flame). A kind of flame that does not burn as hot as a non-luminous flame (better known as a blue flame)

What is the reference that astronomers use to denote the luminosity of stars?
The reference that astronomers use to compare the luminosity of other stars is the sun's luminosity. The luminosity is denoted in multiples of the sun's luminosity. For example, the luminosity of the star Sirius is 25 times the luminosity of the sun.
How do you adjust the luminosity of the flame on the Bunsen burner?
by changing the air flow this can be done by opening or closing the air-hole near the base of the Bunsen burner
What cause the luminousity of the flame?
The color of the flame depends on the temperature, fuel nature, composition of particles in the flame, oxygen concentration.

How is a stars luminosity measured?
A star's luminosity is measured according to the relevance to the sun. Basically for example, if a star is 8,300 degrees Celsius and has a luminosity of 0.001; the luminosity is compared to the sun.
How do we determine Cepheid variables distance from us?
Cepheids have a certain relationship between their period, and their absolute luminosity. Thus, their absolute luminosity can be determined. Comparing this with their apparent luminosity allows us to calculate their distance.Cepheids have a certain relationship between their period, and their absolute luminosity.

What are the products of complete combustion of alkenes?
Alkenes, like alkanes, are highly combustible. Alkenes burn with a luminous flame to give carbon dioxide and water. The flame becomes luminous because of the higher carbon content of alkenes than alkanes. Their combustion reactions are exothermic. Due to the luminosity of the flame, the lower alkenes may be used as illuminants.
