Astrometric suitability of optically-bright ICRF sources for the alignment with the future Gaia celestial reference frame

G. Bourda, P. Charlot, J. -F. Le Campion

The ICRF, currently based on the position of 717 extragalactic radio sources observed by VLBI, is the fundamental celestial reference frame adopted by the IAU in 1997. Within the n…

Multi-step VLBI observations of weak extragalactic radio sources to align the ICRF and the future GAIA frame

G. Bourda, P. Charlot, R. Porcas +1

The space astrometry mission GAIA will construct a dense optical QSO-based celestial reference frame. For consistency between optical and radio positions, it will be important to a…
