Scientific paper

Seventy-five radio sources south of declination + 5 deg were selected for an inertial reference frame, linking the Hipparcos frame to extragalactic objects, via the Space Telescope. Sources were chosen where there is no visible contamination of the image by any object closer than 15 arcsec. The astrometric properties of six stars were tested by speckle interferometry. Results show that one in three is binary on the scale 0.1 to 1.0 arcsec; none are eclipsing.
