radiant flux
(measure of brightness)
Radiant flux (often symbolized φe)
the rate of energy (power) emitted/radiated by something,
e.g., joules per second, aka, watts.
Spectral flux (φe,ν or φe,λ)
is the radiant power per frequency or wavelength.
The above terms are common in sciences other than astrophysics, in
which the term luminosity is often used for an
astronomical object's (e.g., a star's) radiant flux.
