Celestial fundamental catalogues are a prerequisite for the determination of absolute positions and motions in space. Presently, positional astrometry is at the watershed between classical fundamental catalogues, based on moving reference stars, and modern catalogues, based on extragalactic reference objects with non-measurable motion. This book examines the various celestial reference frames and explains how they are established from first principles. This book provides the general astronomer with insights into this important topic, while supplying the specialist with the details of catalogue construction.This text addresses the concepts and methods of the respective construction techniques leading to the stellar FK5 frame and to the newly adopted radio interferometric ICRF with its extension to optical wavelengths by Hipparcos. The VLBI technique as applied to astronomy is presented in detail.
