 * In some cases the Luminosity class is not known, while in other cases, the spectral type is not known - that is why this column is incomplete.
  L and T type stars produce very little visible light, so it is difficult to compare their magnitudes with the others in this table (which are the magnitudes in visible wavelengths).
