论文摘要
调整到550 km（操作高度）的830个视觉幅度的平均值为4.63 +/- 0.02。低α卫星上的Darksat上的数据表明，它比其他卫星比其他卫星的幅度较差1.6幅度或78％。但是，由于观测值少，因此该值存在很大的不确定性。观察到一些卫星的正常亮度增加了10,000倍。这些统计数据可以作为评估Visorsat设计降低的基线，以确保未来的Starlink卫星。
The mean of 830 visual magnitudes adjusted to a distance of 550 km (the operational altitude) is 4.63 +/-0.02. The data on DarkSat, the low-albedo satellite, indicate that it is fainter than the others by 1.6 magnitudes or 78%. However, there is considerable uncertainty in this value due to the small number of observations. Some satellites were observed to flare by 10,000 times their normal brightness. These statistics can serve as a baseline for assessing the reduced brightness of the VisorSat design for future Starlink satellites.
