This book on reference systems is the first comprehensive review of
the problem of celestial and terrestrial reference systems and
frames. Over 20 years, the importance of this problem emerged
slowly as the accuracy of new observational techniques improved.
The topic has already been approached in several symposia such as
Stresa (1967), Morioka (1971), Perth (1973), Columbus (1975, 1978
and 1985), Kiev (1977) and San Fernando (1978). Two IAU colloquia
held in Turin (1974) and in Warsaw (1980) were exclusively devoted
to discuss reference systems. During this time, the problem of
terrestrial and celestial reference systems has been discussed also
in many astronomical and geodetic symposia, but always among other
topics. Thus, a review devoted solely to the definition and
practical realization of such systems was needed. It is hoped that
this book, containing modern comprehensive reviews of important
facets of this problem will contribute not only to a better and
wider understanding of the mathematics and the physics that are
behind the concepts and the realizations, but also to future
development in a field that can only expand with the rapidly
increasing accuracy of geodetic and astronomical observations. We
are pleased to thank all the authors of the book who have
enthusiastically agreed to contribute to the book in their field of
competence and have gracefully accepted guidance from the editors
in the definition of the subject and of the interfaces with other
chapters. We thank Prof. Y.
