Descripción
We present preliminary results from a deep near-infrared survey of a ˜ 1 square degree area in the young open cluster Alpha Persei using the wide-field Omega-Prime camera on the Calar Alto 3.5m telescope, yielding a list of new low-mass cluster members, including brown dwarf candidates.
