Division A WG Multi-waveband International Celestial Reference Frame (optical+VLBI)

Description

The International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) is materialised by highly-accurate positions of extragalactic objects. Following the progress made by the publications of the ICRF3 and the Gaia-CRF2, the WG will work toward the realisation of a fully consistent and integrated multi-waveband celestial reference frame, incorporating positions in both radio and optical bands (VLBI and Gaia).
