I've been trying to estimate absolute magnitude.

Using apparent magnitude (m) of 8.94, distance (D) approx 670 parsec and

M = m - 5 ((Log10D) - 1)

I get an absolute magnitude of approx -0.2.

So I make Estelle's Star to be about 100 times more luminous than the Sun (M = 4.8) and 4 times more luminous than Sirius (M = 1.4).

Does my maths seem right?

The only colour image I have shows a blue/white star. What spectral type would it be, and approximate surface temperature range, given that absolute magnitude? Around A on the Main Sequence? Maybe around 10,000K+?

Thanks
