1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Two stars have apparent magnitudes of V = 5.1 and V = 4.6 but are too close together to be resolved with the naked eye and appear to be a single object. What is its apparent magnitude? 2. Relevant equations I don't know what the relevant equations are if there are any. 3. The attempt at a solution Apparent magnitude = the sum of the two magnitudes = 9.7 but i know that's probably wrong, any help would be appreciated thanks! Sorry if this is in the wrong place by the way.
