The Radio Reference Frame Image Database
X Band Long Baseline Array Images

(This document is available with and without frames.)
These data are part of a joint Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) and U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) program to extend and maintain the International Celestial Reference Frame in the Southern Hemisphere. The goal of the program is to image all such sources at milliarcsecond resolution in order to determine their continued suitability for reference frame use based on intrinsic structure. Available items include PostScript format contour plots of International Celestial Reference Frame source images at a radio frequency of 8.4 GHz. Plots of visibility data in PostScript format are also available. If you make use of these data in any publication, please refer to the citation instructions.
