AB magnitude to microjanskys
Type a value in AB mag to get it in µJy instantly.
0.3631µJy
That's 100× as bright as the faintest galaxies in Hubble’s deep fields, while the faintest star the eye can see is 39,810,717× brighter.
Convert the other way: µJy to AB mag
What it means
How bright is that source?
AB magnitudes are defined per unit frequency. Vega-system magnitudes differ by a band-dependent offset; references are rough visual values.
The math
How to convert AB mag to µJy
AB = −2.5 log₁₀(F ÷ 3,631 Jy); F = 3,631 Jy × 10^(−0.4 AB). 1 Jy = 10⁻²⁶ W m⁻² Hz⁻¹.
Example: 25 AB mag = 0.3631 µJy.
