> This makes it the most luminous object in the known Universe
> J0529-4351 is over 500 trillion times more luminous than the Sun
That appears to contradict Wikipedia [1] which lists SMSS J215728.21-360215.1 [2] as the most luminous at an intrinsic bolometric luminosity of ~ 6.9 × 10^14 Suns or ~ 2.6 × 1041 watts.
Are there perhaps different ways of measuring luminosity?
