Target entity: Very Long Baseline Array
Context triple: [National Radio Astronomy Observatory, operates, Very Long Baseline Array]
  • A. Very Long Baseline Interferometry
    Very Long Baseline Interferometry is a radio astronomy technique that combines signals from widely separated antennas to achieve extremely high angular resolution and precisely measure geodetic and astronomical parameters.
  • B. Very Large Array (VLA) Radio Telescope
    The Very Large Array (VLA) Radio Telescope is a world-renowned radio astronomy observatory in New Mexico, consisting of 27 large dish antennas arranged in a Y-shaped configuration to study distant cosmic phenomena.
  • C. Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array
    The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array is a powerful astronomical observatory composed of dozens of radio antennas that study the cold universe—such as star and planet formation—by observing millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.
  • D. Allen Telescope Array
    The Allen Telescope Array is a large, multi-dish radio telescope facility in California designed primarily for simultaneous radio astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
  • E. Submillimeter Array
    The Submillimeter Array is a radio interferometer of eight 6-meter telescopes that observes the universe at submillimeter wavelengths, enabling high-resolution studies of cold gas, dust, and star-forming regions in space.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
