Absolute magnitude.
Caution
The star that is hotter will have a higher luminosity.

No. Apparent magnitude (or luminosity) means how bright a star (or other object) looks to us; absolute magnitude (or luminosity) refers to how bright it really is.
The luminosity depends on what stage of its life cycle the star is in. Also, the apparent luminosity depends on the distance from earth.
The luminosity of the star would decrease by a factor of four. Luminosity is directly proportional to the inverse square of the distance from the star. So, if the distance is doubled, the luminosity decreases by a factor of 2^2 = 4.
It is a triple star system. Therefore every single star has different luminosity. However, as a whole the system is seen from earth at an appereant magnitude of 3.47, which means only %6 luminosity of the star vega.
Both the absorption and the luminosity of a blackbody in equilibrium increase in magnitude with increasing temperature, and the spectral distribution of the luminosity increases in frequency (decreases in wavelength).
I was enthralled by the luminosity of the deep water jellyfish.
Luminosity affects the habitable zone (CHZ) by determining the distance at which a planet would need to be from a star to have the right temperature for liquid water to exist on its surface. Stars with higher luminosity would have habitable zones farther out, while stars with lower luminosity would have habitable zones closer in. This means that the size and location of the CHZ around a star depend on its luminosity.
The luminosity of the Sun is approximately 3.8 x 10^26 watts, which means it is emitting this amount of energy every second. This energy output is generated through nuclear fusion reactions in the Sun's core.
The root word is lum. It means light or bright.
