Why do extremely cold stars look fainter than we might expect from their luminosities and distances?
1 answer
"Luminosity" measures the total power output at all wavelengths. Very cold stars emit most of their radiation in the (invisible) infrared. Thus they appear unusally weak at visible wavelengths.
