apparent magnitude comparison table

Subject has band has definition

infrared magnitude The magnitude derived from the observations at an infrared wavelength

photoelectric magnitude The magnitude of an object as measured with a photoelectric photometer. (m_pe) (antiquated term)

photographic magnitude The magnitude of an object as measured on the traditional photographic emulsions, which are sensitive to a slightly bluer region of the spectrum than is the human eye. (m_ph)(antiquated term)

photovisual magnitude The magnitude of an object as measured photographically by filters and emulsions that are sensitive to the same region of the spectrum as the human eye. (antiquated)
