Data underlying the publication: "The high optical 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 "The high optical brightness of the BlueWalker 3 satellite" (NATURE 2023, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06672-7). 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.

本数据集包含原始观测视频文件（AAV格式），以及2022年9月至2023年4月期间对实验性BlueWalker 3卫星（2022-111AL）开展观测所得到的天体测量数据（astrometrical data）与测光数据（photometric data）；相关观测数据已收录于论文《BlueWalker 3卫星的高光学亮度》（《自然》（NATURE）2023，https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06672-7）。本数据集涵盖的全部原始观测文件与数据，均由位于荷兰莱顿（Leiden, NL）的科研团队使用WATEC 902H2相机搭配1.2/50 mm镜头获取。本数据集属于一项更大规模的多机构数据集的组成部分，该数据集用于研究BlueWalker卫星的亮度特性、运行行为，以及该卫星轨道根数的整体精度，其核心研究目标为表征该卫星（以及该类别未来卫星）对天文观测造成的干扰，并探讨相应的干扰缓解方案。
