4. Conclusions

We have presented a new large reference catalogue, the Tycho Reference Catalogue, providing an accurate, dense and stable realization of the ICRS/Hipparcos system. External errors in proper motions are below 2.5 mas/yr and internal errors are of the same size. A sequel, the TRC2, of 2.5 million stars is in progress and a first version, Tycho2, will appear in 1999.
