It is now evident that major advances in observational sensitivity in other regions of the electromagnetic spectrum invariably lead to heavy demand for complementary observations with existing large (3- to 5-meter) optical/infrared (O/IR) telescopes, and that such observations are often essential to the interpretation and understanding of phenomena revealed by the former. The Einstein X-ray mission, the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), the Very Large Array (VLA) and the recent Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) are all clear demonstrations of this effect.
