2005f_astro catalogue

2005f_astro catalogue

2005f_astro catalogue contains positions, estimates of correlated flux density and images of compact extragalactic radio sources from reanalysis of VLBA calibrator survey observing campaigns in 1994-2005 and from 4059 experiments for geophysics and absolute astrometry since 1979.08.03 through 2005.12.01. Refer to the home page of the solution for more details.
