摘要:

我们报告了40个新的球状星团(GC)的发现,已发现的晕的M31的基础上INT/WFC和CHFT/Megacam图像的调查。这些新GC的一个子集具有扩展的扩散性质,包括Huxor等人(2005)中已经发现的GC。搜索策略的描述和基本的位置和V和I光度数据,为每个集群。对于这些集群的一个子集,还给出了K波段测光。新的星系团继续被发现到测量区域的极限(~100 kpc),这表明M31的GC系统比以前认识到的要扩展得多。新的集群使M31中确认的GC总数增加了约10%,确认的GC数量超过1度(~14 kpc)超过75%。我们还利用巡天图像以及最近的HST档案数据更新了M31球状星团的修订博洛尼亚星表(RBC)。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of 40 new globular clusters (GCs) that have been found in surveys of the halo of M31 based on INT/WFC and CHFT/Megacam imagery. A subset of these these new GCs are of an extended, diffuse nature, and include those already found in Huxor et al. (2005). The search strategy is described and basic positional and V and I photometric data are presented for each cluster. For a subset of these clusters, K-band photometry is also given. The new clusters continue to be found to the limit of the survey area (~100 kpc), revealing that the GC system of M31 is much more extended than previously realised. The new clusters increase the total number of confirmed GCs in M31 by approximately 10% and the number of confirmed GCs beyond 1 degree (~14 kpc) by more than 75%. We have also used the survey imagery as well recent HST archival data to update the Revised Bologna Catalogue (RBC) of M31 globular clusters.
