Description
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 spiral
galaxies.
