How many dish antennas are combined in the VLA?
The Very Large Array (VLA) located in New Mexico consists of 27 dish antennas. These antennas work together to create a combined resolution equal to that of a single dish with a diameter of 36 kilometers.
What type of radiation does the VLA telescope give off?
None whatsoever. The Very Large Array COLLECTS radiation, in the form of radio waves. The array has to be Very Large, because the signals are so incredibly faint. In fact, the energy of a single match, the kind you might use to light a campfire, is more than the energy collected in all the radio telescopes in the world in the last 100 years!
Why are there telescopes of the very large array arranged so far apart?
The Very Large Array (VLA) telescopes are arranged far apart to enhance their ability to capture high-resolution images of celestial objects. By using an interferometric technique, the separation between the dishes allows them to simulate a much larger telescope, effectively increasing their angular resolution. This configuration enables astronomers to detect finer details in radio emissions from distant galaxies, stars, and other astronomical phenomena. Additionally, varying the distance between the antennas can provide a range of observational capabilities across different spatial frequencies.
What kind of telescope do you need to most easily see a neutron star?
To most easily observe a neutron star, a powerful telescope with capabilities for high-energy astrophysics is required, such as a radio telescope or an X-ray observatory. Neutron stars emit primarily in the X-ray and radio wavelengths, so instruments like the Chandra X-ray Observatory or the Very Large Array (VLA) for radio astronomy would be ideal. Optical telescopes are generally not effective for observing neutron stars directly due to their faintness in visible light.
Where are most optical telescopes are located?
1. Radio telescopes are directional radio antennae that have a curved shape and are used like other astronomical telescopes to study objects in the universe beyond Earth and the Solar System. They gather radio waves and process them by using a computer.
Who operates the radio telescopes?
That would depend very much on which radio telescope you're talking about. The NRAO certainly operates several including the famous VLA.

How is the VLA similar to an optical telescope?
well,both telescopes let you look into the ground into the inner core and you see deep in he atmosphere which is space. Errr... The Very Large Array is an array of radio-telescopes, i.e. it detects radio emissions from stars and similar. An optical telescope as its name suggests, collects visible light. The similarity is that increasing the aperture increases the radiation-gathering power by a square-law. In an optical telescope this is achieved by a larger mirror (or lens but most large telescopes are reflecting.) The VLA uses a "synthetic aperture" to gain the advantages of increasing its gathering area without the cost and complexity of building a single, very large dish.

What is VLA in astronomy?
VLA in astronomy is the Very Large Array (better known as the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. It is a radio astronomy observatory located on the Plains of San Agustin, New Mexico, USA.See related link for more information.
