Focus of article[edit]

The recent additions focus on the projects. The projects should be discussed in their article. This article should discuss the organization itself.Americasroof (talk) 07:48, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Brookhaven contract[edit]

I don't know a lot about this issue so, I am not best placed to add information here but, this article makes no mention of the reason for the termination of the Brookhaven contract, which I believe was controversy surrounding the leaking of Tritium into groundwater from a waste storage facility at BNL. At the time I believe the BNL management (contracted to AUI) was blamed for failures contributing to the accident. The BNL contract must have been a major activity of the company so, it seems like an omission that this page mentions nothing about the reason for the termination of this contract.

It seems that there was mention of this in the past on this page but, that it was removed. The edit which removed this information was this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Associated_Universities,_Inc.&diff=317715778&oldid=317683445 without a reason being given. I don't see anything wrong with what was removed so, I would favour re-adding the relevant information. Sipos0 (talk) 23:10, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Upgrade update[edit]

As of this posting, the article currently reads:

"The VLA is currently being rebuilt as a new observatory, the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA). The EVLA will provide a radio telescope of unprecedented sensitivity, resolution, and imaging capability, by modernizing and extending the existing Very Large Array. When completed, the EVLA will have sensitivity improvements of an order of magnitude, with frequency between 1.0 and 50 GHz, with up to 8 GHz bandwidth per polarization. The modifications are well over 50% complete, and early science with the VLA is expected in 2010."

This can no longer be valid, given that it is 2023. I am not the correct person to re-write this, but my rough understanding is (from the Wikipedia Article on the VLA) that the upgrade has already been achieved and already increased the sensitivity (up to 8000 times) completed in 2011. At that time, the facility was renamed, but not as the EVLA, but rather as the "Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array". And although further upgrade is proposed, I believe this upgrade is fully complete.

Is there someone who is qualified to update this information.?
