The Construction of ICRF2 and its impact on Terrestrial Reference Frame
Paper in proceeding, 2014
The construction of the second realization of the International Celestial Reference Frame by VLBI (ICRF2) was undertaken to take advantage of the many improvements in geodetic and astrometric VLBI and the vast increase in data since the first ICRF. The impact the switch to ICRF2 has had on the terrestrial reference frame and EOP solutions generated by VLBI is very small, at about the mm level, and should be transparent to most users of VLBI products.
