Data underlying the publication: "Optical observations find high brightness of the BlueWalker 3 satellite"

This dataset contains the original observational video files (AAV format) as well as the resulting astrometrical and photometric data from observations over Sept 2022-Apr 2023 of the experimental Bluewalker 3 satellite (2022-111AL), observational data that are included in the paper "Optical observations find high brightness of the BlueWalker 3 satellite". They were obtained from Leiden, NL, with a WATEC 902H2 camera and 1.2/50 mm lens. They are part of a larger multi-institute dataset used to study the brightness characteristics and behaviour of the Bluewalker satellite and the general accuracy of orbital elements for this satellite, with an eye on characterizing the interference of this satellite (and future satellites in this class) with astronomical observations, and how to mitigate this.

本数据集包含2022年9月至2023年4月期间对实验型蓝行者3号卫星（2022-111AL）进行观测所获得的原始观测视频文件（AAV格式），以及对应生成的天体测量与测光数据。该观测数据已收录于论文《光学观测发现蓝行者3号卫星具有高亮度》中。本数据集的数据采集自荷兰莱顿观测点，使用WATEC 902H2相机搭配1.2/50 mm镜头完成。本数据集属于一项大型多机构研究数据集的组成部分，该研究旨在探究蓝行者系列卫星的亮度特性与运行行为，以及该卫星轨道参数的整体精度，以表征该卫星（及未来同类型卫星）对天文观测的干扰效应，并探索对应的缓解策略。
