Abstract
Radio stars play a key role in establishing the link between optical r eference frames and the conventional celestial reference frame based o n extragalactic radio sources. The relevant astrometric, astrophysical and radio quantities are compiled of 66 cardinal radio stars currentl y suited to frame connection and maintenance of the link. The catalogu e entries are supplied with ample bibliographical codes and annotation s for easy data retrieval.(1)
