An HST Survey of the Disk Cluster Population of M31. I. WFPC2 Pointings
arXiv:astro-ph/0701066 · doi:10.1086/511654
Abstract
A survey of 49 HST WFPC2 pointings in M31 has resulted in a photometric catalog of 344 disk clusters ("open clusters"). We have analyzed the color-magnitude diagram, the luminosity function, the size distribution and the age distribution of the clusters, together with correlations between these characteristics and the environment of the clusters within M31's spiral structure.
