dc.description.abstractEn | The current fundamental celestial reference frame is the second realization of the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF2) derived from dual frequency VLBI observations at 13/3.6 cm. The ICRF2 catalog includes ∼3000 compact radio sources, largely quasars, of which 295 defining sources establish the coordinate axes with an accuracy of ∼10 microarcseconds. More limited catalogs have been developed at 1.2 cm using the VLBA (∼300 sources) and at 3.6/0.9 cm using the Deep Space Network (∼500 sources), primarily to support spacecraft navigation. Anticipating the prospective Gaia optical catalogue, a set of ∼400 radio weak but optically bright (V ≤ 18) objects is being studied at 13/3.6 cm for the radio-optical frame tie using the high sensitivity of the EVN + VLBA. The Gaia QSO catalog currently has ∼100,000 defining objects whose morphology and variability are being tabulated. The characteristics, limitations and future development of the various wavelength catalogs will be discussed along with the anticipated radio-optical frame transfer. | |
