Citations for some of the info on this page

There seems to be some citations missing. In particular, I can't see any reference for "600 Earths per minute" in the Properties section, or indeed for many of the numbers and statements in that section. Can anyone help out?

revision 884056298

[User:Aldebarium] Undid revision 884056298 by Jeff Relf (me), saying:

 Brightness and luminosity don't mean the same thing: 
 brightness refers to apparent brightness

J043947.08+163415.7 shines like 600 trillion Suns, more than supernovae.

Certainly, "the most luminous object known to man" is worth noting. Jeff Relf (talk) 22:06, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
