To determine a star's luminosity is from size and temperature.
Luminosity
Yes. Around 76% of the stars are low luminosity stars.
The stars in the night sky shine with a remarkable luminosity.
Blue stars are very hot stars and so usually have high luminosity.

Blue stars are very hot stars and so usually have high luminosity.
If the binary stars were of too high luminosity it would be impossible to distinguish the two through vision alone. Therefore most visual binary stars are of low luminosity.
luminosity or brightness
Luminosity is the total amount of energy emitted by a star per second.
Luminosity.
The basic luminosity classes are: I for supergiants, III for giants, and V for main-sequence stars.
The star that is hotter will have a higher luminosity.
Dwarf stars are dim because they are small, so their luminosity (amount of emitted energy) is low compared to other stars, and low luminosity means more dimness.
The star that is hotter will have a higher luminosity.
