The method depends on the assumption that, the stars scatter around a mean magnitude in a Gaussian distribution. The mean apparent magnitude of the stars is then expressed in terms of the frequency function of the apparent magnitudes, so as to correct for observational incompleteness at the faint end. The problem reduces to the solution of a highly transcendental equation for a given apparent magnitude parameter alpha. Computational algorithm of the method is illustrated and the numerical solutions of the basic equation are given for some values of alpha.  Journal Name : ASTRONOMISCHE NACHRICHTEN  Volume : 324  Issue Number : 3  Publishing Year : 2003 AH   Added Date : Monday, June 23, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email أ.د. محمد عادل بن عبدالعزيز أحمد شرف Mohamed A.
