Reviewer 3 ·

Basic reporting

The paper is generally clear, and the use of professional terminology is appropriate, with a logical structure. However, some sections are verbose and repetitive, such as parts of the introduction, which could be more concise.The paper mentions the construction and use of the Event_DVS_space7 dataset but does not provide detailed instructions on how to access this data. It is recommended to include a method for accessing the dataset in the appendix to facilitate replication by other researchers.

Experimental design

The research is innovative in applying event cameras to space object detection, aligning well with the journal's scope. The proposed ACMNet network effectively addresses the problem of detecting space objects under backlight and dim conditions, filling a gap in existing knowledge. The methodology is described in detail, but some steps could be more explicit.

Validity of the findings

The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of ACMNet in specific conditions but lacks a thorough discussion of its impact and novelty. It is suggested to include more discussion on potential impacts and possible improvements in other application scenarios to provide a comprehensive evaluation of its innovativeness. The results section clearly demonstrates the advantages of ACMNet. However, the statistical analysis of experimental results could be more detailed.The conclusions summarize the main findings and relate closely to the research question. They are clear and supported by the results, but it is suggested to discuss the limitations of the study and future research directions in the conclusion to provide a more comprehensive perspective.
