What is W in the brightness (intensity) distribution, please? Alpha is the position of the star; lambda, the wavelength; t, the time; P, the polarization. Thank you

    If you can tell us where you found this, and perhaps provide some more context, it will be easier to help you. – pela Nov 13 '23 at 14:58

    Context is essential... there are some rough conventions of which symbols are used for which physical properties - but that is anything but a given. That is more true the less common a formula is. And this is not even a formula, but just a function call, so that no-one can even draw conclusions from the formula. – planetmaker Nov 13 '23 at 15:03
  • It was in a lecture about interferometry that in this all astrophysicists are interested. However, then it was talked just about the other variables as I described above. – Anna-Kat Nov 14 '23 at 06:10
