The DIRECT project: Catalogs of stellar objects in nearby galaxies. II. Eastern arm and NGC 206 in M31

Abstract

DIRECT is a project to directly obtain the distances to two important galaxies in the cosmological distance ladder, M31 and M33, using detached eclipsing binaries and Cepheids. As part of our search for these variables, we have obtained photometry and positions for thousands of stellar objects within the monitored fields, covering an area of 557.8 arcmin^2. In this research note we present the equatorial coordinates and BVI photometry for 26712 stars in the M31 galaxy, along the eastern arm and in the vicinity of the star forming region NGC206.
