Antenna locations in the ngVLA configuration considered in this study. Major U.S. highways are shown in red. The array is centered on the compact core of the current VLA in New Mexico, and the additional antennas at intermediate and long baselines take into account local geography, land ownership, and infrastructure. The longest baselines of 513 km extend in the north-south direction into Mexico and will maximize the utility of the ngVLA for Galactic center studies.
