The Very Large Array (VLA) is presently being constructed on the Plains of San Augustine near Socorro, New Mexico by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. The purpose for which this instrument is being constructed is to produce “radio images” of resolution comparable to that of large optical telescopes. There have already been several “test” observations, some successful, using the partially completed instrument to study the molecular species of OH, H2O, and NH3 with wide bandwidths (200-1500 kHz).
