General Description

Integral field spectroscopy of two sub-stellar companion candidates previously
 detected around T Tauri stars:
(to get a more precise estimate of their properties as e.g. temperature and extinction
 by comparison of their spectra and properties to atmospheric and theoretical models,
 respectively.)

A K=11.6 mag companion 8.2" northwest of CD-65149 (R=9.7mag;K=8mag)
and
a K=15.0 mag companion 14" northwest of HIP32435 (R=7.2mag;K=6.3mag)

For the first target AO works nicely, for the other we have to use noAO mode.

If easily available, we would prefer an early type star (e.g. B star) as telluric
 standard star. Thank you.

Position Angles of 28.1, 37.9 are used for the companions of CD-65149, HIP32435
 respectively, to get the finer sampling for the connection line between primary
 and companion to be able to remove the background in the best way.
