Asteroid astrometry as a link between ICRF and the Dynamical Reference Frames

Highly accurate astrometry of asteroids in the frame of QSOs will provide the direct link between the Dynamical Reference Frame and the International Celestial Reference Frame. We propose a procedure that implies a selection of events for asteroids with accurately determined orbits crossing the CCD field containing the selected quasars. For asteroid ephemerides, a numerical integration method coupled with precise modelling of asteroid brightness will be used for analyzing our observations. A list of predictions for this type of “close approaches” will be presented.
