VLBA Observations of Radio Reference Frame Sources. II. Astrometric Suitability Based on Observed Structure
Open accessAbstract
We present simultaneous dual-frequency Very Long Baseline Array 2 and 8 GHz observations of 133 of the 560 extragalactic sources for which positions were reported by Johnston et al. These observations represent the second in a series of observations intended to image the entire set of sources presented by Johnston et al. and, together with previously reported observations, bring the total number of sources observed so far to 169. We use the data to quantify the magnitude of the expected effect of intrinsic source structure on astrometric bandwidth synthesis VLBI observations. We also define a source "structure index," which can be used as an estimate of the astrometric quality of the sources.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
