	Very Large Telescope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		VLT is located at the Paranal Observatory on Cerro Paranal, a 2,635 m high mountain in the Atacama desert in northern Chile.
		The VLTs are equiped with a large set of instruments permitting observations to be performed from the near-UV to the mid-IR (ie a large fraction of the light wavelengths accessible from the surface of the Earth), with the full range of techniques including high-resolution spectroscopy, multi-object spectroscopy, imaging, and high-resolution imaging.
		In particular, the VLT has several Adaptive optics systems, which at infrared wavelengths correct for the effects of the atmospheric turbulence, providing images almost as sharp as if the telescope was in space.

	Vermont Land Trust - Guide to Farm Easement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		VLT may allow a subdivision of farm—transfer of a pasture to a neighboring farm, for example—if the transfer would assist the neighboring farm operation without hindering farming activity on the retained farmland.
		Their purpose is to give VLT the opportunity to purchase the land and offer it for resale to another farmer and/or to keep the land affordable for future generations.
		VLT may only transfer the conservation easement to a state agency, town or a qualified conservation organization that agrees to enforce the easement.

	Very Large Telescope (VLT)
		This gives the VLT a maximum angular resolution of about 0.001 arc-second at 1 micron wavelength (in the near-infrared), which is equivalent to about 2 meters at the distance of the Moon.
		Used in interferometric as distint from individual-instrument mode, however, the VLT is only sensitive to objects with a high surface brightness, such as stars and the nuclei of active galaxies.
		In 2005, scientists using the VLT announced they had obtained the first direct photograph of an extrasolar planet — 2M1207b, which orbits the star 2M1207 more than 200 light-years away in the constellation Hydra.

	Alberta VLT vote raises concern - Interim, November 1998
		In fact, VLTs, labelled the crack cocaine of gambling by critics, were kept by all but six of the 31 communities that voted on the issue.
		VLT opponents vowed to continue pressing the provincial government to keep its promises to help problem gamblers and perhaps even to remove VLTs to casinos.
		Justik points to the enormous social costs that VLT addictions cause: an increase in the number of suicides; an increase in crime and in jail and welfare costs, and the "pain and remorse" caused to families of gambling addicts.

	Proposed New York VLT Plan: More to Purses, Tracks \| bloodhorse.com
		The VLT law was approved at the end of 2001, but tracks have complained the program would, under current revenue-sharing numbers, amount to a money-loser.
		Under the current VLT law, 60% of what is left after winnings are paid goes to education, 25% to the racing industry, and 15% to the Lottery Division.
		The VLT law also faces a lawsuit that claims, in part, the program is illegal because the constitution forbids sharing of lottery proceeds with anything other than education programs.

		VLT's could generate hundreds of millions of dollars for New York State education programs, which was the original intent of the program.
		One bill passed today (S.2594) would alter the flat VLT vendor's fee that is currently set at 29 percent of the total amount wagered after paying out prizes (92 percent of the total amount wagered) to a new sliding scale fee.
		The Senate also passed a bill (S.3276) that would increase the VLT vendor reimbursement to be received by the race track vendor from 29 percent to 34 percent of the money received in VLT proceeds after payouts are given to VLT patrons.

		The VLT Survey Telescope or VST is a proposed 2.5m telescope with a wide field imager intended to aid the VLT in its scientific aims, and would be located at the same site as the VLT in Chile
		It is planned to have a 1 arcminute field of view and aiming to reach magnitudes as faint as R of 25.
		It would work primarily on surveys of large areas of the sky from which individual targets could be selected for closer study using the greater power of the 4 8m class telescopes that make up the VLT.

	Mindjack - Science - Twenty Twenty
		The name implies that there is just one telescope, but actually the VLT is a system of four cooperating telescopes (Five if you count the Hubble Space Telescope which frequently acts as a finder scope for the more powerful VLT.) Each of the four VLT unit telescopes has a primary mirror of 8.2 meters.
		The VLT was still under construction, yet I could see the gleam of the next telescope in the visionary eye of the VLT’s future director.
		All three giant telescopes, the VLT which I am now privileged to drive, the OWL, and the unnamed solar foci probe, would have been impossible for me to extrapolate from the reality of a cold February morning in 1979.

	Configuring VLANs using 802.1Q and VLT
		We use ISL in the core of the network between the larger Cisco switches - the fact that it has a distinct spanning tree incarnation for each VLAN is an advantage in a mesh of connections; 802.1Q forces all VLANs to use the same spanning tree topology.
		We use VLT between older 3Coms at the edge of the network and newer ones connecting to the core.
		VLT allows for only 16 VLANs and they are known only as VLANs 1-16.

	Software Engineering Practices for the ESO VLT Programme
		In 1991 when the VLT development began, the question was whether a traditional, basically no-rules approach would suffice, or whether a more structured software engineering approach was needed for a project of its size and characteristics.
		VLT Common Software was defined to collect software solutions that could be used across the project.
		For the VLT we used the traditional waterfall model (sequence of phases: requirement, analysis, design, implementation, test, etc.) in an ``incremental'' way, i.e., identical sequences were started at different times for the different parts of the project.

	The VLT Science Archive System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The VLT Archive System goals can be summarized as follows: i) record the history of VLT observations in the long term; ii) provide a research tool - make the Science Archive another VLT instrument; iii) help VLT operations to be predictable by providing traceability of instrument performance; iv) support observation preparation and analysis.
		The main components of the VLT Archive System are (see figure 1): the On-Line Archive Facility (OLAF) and the off-line Science Archive Facility (SAF).
		Already after the first year of UT1 operations, the VLT will be delivering data quantities that make it not feasible to follow the same procedure for archive research.

	VLT smashes the record of the farthest known galaxy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Beyond that, the faintness of these sources and the fact their light is shifted from the optical to the near infrared has so far severely limited the studies.
		Combined with the power of the VLT it has thereby been possible to image and even to take a spectrum of this galaxy.
		Indeed, the natural amplification effectively increases the aperture of the VLT from 8.2-m to 40-80 m.

		This new high-contrast adaptive optics camera, the NACO Simultaneous Differential Imager, or NACO SDI [2], was specifically developed by Laird Close and Rainer Lenzen (Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany) for hunting extrasolar planets.
		The SDI camera enhances the ability of the VLT and its adaptive optics system to detect faint companions that would normally be lost in the glare of the primary star.
		Using NACO on the VLT, the astronomers further observed AB Dor C at near infrared wavelengths to measure its temperature and luminosity.
