Since the 1980s VLBI observations at two frequencies, 8.4 (X-band) and 2.3 GHz (S-band) have been used to locate the positions of compact radio sources with unprecedented accuracy. ... Observations of selected strong compact extragalactic radio sources, using this now mature technique, have been used to define and maintain a radio reference frame with sub-milli-arcsecond (mas) precision. ... Additionally, it will provide more reference sources for phase referencing VLBI observations. ... References . ...
