==High-Sensitivity Array== The use of the VLBA can be scheduled dynamically, and its sensitivity can be improved by a factor of five by including other radio telescopes such as the [[Green Bank Telescope]] in West Virginia, the [[Very Large Array]] (VLA) in New Mexico and the [[Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope|Effelsberg radio telescope]] in Germany. These three additional sites are brought online for as much as 100 hours per four-month trimester. In this configuration, the entire array is known as the '''High-Sensitivity Array''' ('''HSA''').<ref>{{cite web|url=https://science.nrao.edu/facilities/vlba/HSA|title=High Sensitivity Array -- Science Website|first1=Amy|last1=Mioduszewski|first2=Justin|last2=Linford|date=2020-12-01|publisher=National Radio Astronomy Observatory|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124220136/https://science.nrao.edu/facilities/vlba/HSA|archive-date=2021-01-24}}</ref> The [[Arecibo Observatory|Arecibo radio telescope]] in Puerto Rico was also used, before it collapsed. {| class="wikitable" |+High-Sensitive Array locations !scope="col"| [[Toponymy|Toponym]] !scope="col"| [[U.S. state|State]] !scope="col"| [[Geographic coordinate system]] |----- !scope="row"| [[Green Bank, West Virginia|Green Bank]] | [[West Virginia]] | {{coord|38|25|59|N|79|50|23|W}} | GB |----- !scope="row"| [[Very Large Array]] | [[New Mexico]] | {{coord|34|04|44|N|107|37|06|W}} | Y27 |----- !scope="row"| [[Effelsberg]] | [[Germany]] | {{coord|50|31|30|N|6|53|00|E}} | EB |}
