The magnitude of a galaxy will depend on a lot of factors, luminousity, size and distance from us.

The apparent magnitude of the naked eye galaxies are:

  • Large Magellanic Cloud +0.9
  • Small Magellanic Cloud +2.7
  • Andromeda Galaxy +3.4
  • Triangulum Galaxy +5.7
  • Centaurus A +7.8
  • Bode's Galaxy +7.89
  • Sculptor Galaxy +8.0
  • Messier 83 +8.2

How does the brightness of a quasar compare with that of a large galaxy?

I assume when you mean brightness, you mean apparent magnitude as opposed to absolute magnitude. The quasar 3C 273 has an apparent magnitude of about 12.8 whereas the brightest galaxy - the Large Magellanic Cloud has an apparent magnitude of 0.9. However, in absolute magnitudes, 3C 273 has an absolute magnitude of about -26.7 very similar to our own Sun.


What is the definition of absolute magnitude?

The absolute magnitude is the magnitude (brightness) an object would have at a standard distance - how bright would it look at a standard distance. For a star or galaxy, the standard distance of 10 parsecs is commonly used.


What is absolute bolometric magnitude?

Absolute magnitude is the brightness of an object (star, galaxy, etc.) from a standard distance."Bolometric" means that the entire energy output is calculated - not just visible light.

If all stars on your galaxy Milk Way combined to the closest star on earth other than the sun which is Proxima Centauri how big can it be seen on earth or it will just burn us all?

Assuming you mean our galaxy, the Milky way contains a billion stars with average brightness equal to the Sun's, the question can be put as how would it feel if there were a billion suns positioned beside Proxima Centauri. One of them would be about magnitude 0, and 100 would have a magnitude of -5, a million would have a magnitude of -15, a hundred million would have a magnitue of -20 and a billion would be -22.5. The real Sun would therefore still be about 50 times brighter because its magnitude is -26.7.
