International Celestial Reference System
Scientific paper
The International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) is currently a radio reference frame accessed through VLBI that is refined with technique-dependent improvements described in this Joint Discussion. An important component of the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS) that is the basis for this frame is the set of conventional models and procedures that are used to define the system. The IERS Conventions Center provided jointly by the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) and the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) produces the IERS Conventions that contain the models and procedures needed to realize and access the ICRS. The key elements of the Conventions related to the ICRS are outlined and recent improvements are highlighted. Improvements in the IERS Conventions (models and procedures) should play a role by globally improving IERS products.
