Hi astropy gurus,

The ICRS Frame is built from the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF). But the 2nd realization of that Reference Frame (ICRF2) is available since the publication of Fey et al. 2015, see

http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-6256/150/2/58/meta <http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-6256/150/2/58/meta>

Then, the question: is that ICRF2 Frame already included in astropy.coordinates Frame definitions? That could be useful for some VLBI people.

Cheers,
JB
