ICRS (International Celestial Reference System) is a built-in frame in the astropy.coordinates module in Python. It is used to represent celestial coordinates in the standard reference system defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The ICRS frame provides a convenient and consistent way to describe positions of celestial objects such as stars, galaxies, and other astronomical sources. It is commonly used in astrophysics and astronomy research to ensure accurate and standardized measurements of celestial objects across different observations and data sets.
