Why is Rigel appears brighter than aldeberan even though aldeberan is technically brighter than Rigel?
The absolute magnitude of Rigel is -7.92 while that of Aldebaran is -6.41. This means that Rigel is approx 4 times brighter than Aldebaran - technically. So the question is based on a flawed grasp of absolute magnitude.
Which star has the less absolute magnitude rigel or Sirius?
Sirius has less absolute magnitude than Rigel. Sirius is smaller and less luminous than Rigel, but much closer to us, so Sirius appears brighter. Sirius, in fact, is the brightest star in our sky (with the exception of our own star, the sun.) Rigel is still pretty bright, but many times farther away from us than Sirius.
