The Sun is the main basis for many stellar parameters. A far as luminosity goes - it is 1.
A Hertzsprung-Russell diagram or H-R diagram.
surface temperature and luminosity
It shows the relationship between stars luminosity versus their classifications and effective temperatures
The H-R diagram is a graphical tool used to classify stars according to color, temperature, spectral type, luminosity, and evolutionary stage. H-R stands for Hertzsprung-Russell.

The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram was created - as the name suggests - by Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell in 1910
The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, or H-R diagram, was created in 1911 by Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell. They plotted the luminosity of stars against their surface temperature to classify and study stellar populations. This diagram revolutionized our understanding of stars and their life cycles.

Pollux is an orange giant star located about 34 light years from earth. It would no doubt have been used to help form the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, showing temperatures of stars vs. luminosity. Its temperature is around 4865 Kelvin and it has a luminosity of 32 times that of our own sun.
