Globular clusters at the distance of M31 have apparent angular sizes of a few arcseconds. While many M31 GCs have been detected and studied from ground-based images, the high spatial resolution of HST allows much more robust detection and characterization of star cluster properties. We present the results of a search of 157 HST/WFPC2 images of M31: we found 82 previously-cataloged globular cluster candidates as well as 32 new globular cluster candidates and 20 open cluster candidates. We present images of the new candidates and photometry for all clusters. We assess existing cluster catalogs' completeness and use the results to estimate the total number of GCs in M31 as 460+/-70. The specific frequency is S_N = 1.2+/-0.2 and the mass specific frequency T = 2.4+/-0.4; these values are at the upper end of the range seen for spiral galaxies.

  1. GeV-TeV Connections in Galaxies: Evolutionary Signatures from Pulsars in Globular Clusters

    astro-ph.HE 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Globular cluster pulsar winds may make a significant contribution to GeV and TeV gamma-ray emission from massive quiescent galaxies, with strength tied to each galaxy's evolutionary history.
