BEARS is a 25-beam focal plane array receiver mounted on the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. The combination of the large dish size of the telescope with the excellent performance of this receiver makes it an ideal tool for mapping observations of extended regions of the sky. We present here one of its current applications in a CO mapping survey of nearby

We present complete near infrared (0.85-2.45 μm), low-resolution (˜100) spectra of a sample of 26 disk L-dwarfs with reliable optical spectral type classification. The observations have been obtained with a prism-based optical element (the Amici device) that provides a complete spectrum of the source on the detector. Our observations show that low

V and I images of the nearby dIrr galaxies Sextans A and Sextans B were searched for the clusters. The cadidates were selected, from a sample of non-stellar objects, on the basis of their morphology, their integrated colors and magnitudes. One of the candidates in Sextans A shows a few resolved stars whose location in the color-magnitude diagram
