===========================================================

This session includes 45 sources which have been chosen because they have 
not been observed recently.  These sources may be part of the next generation
of the ICRF which will be unveiled in 2009.

Because many of these sources are weak, the integration time is long. This 
results in fewer scans than usual for an R&D.
