| Abstract: |
In this contribution we describe the discovery of a large number of globular clusters in the outer
halo of M31 from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS). New globular clusters
have also been found in the outskirts of M33, and NGC 147 and 185. Many of the remote M31
clusters are observed to preferentially project onto tidal debris streams in the stellar halo, suggesting
that much of the outer M31 globular cluster system has been assembled via the accretion of
satellite galaxies. We briefly discuss the global properties of the M31 halo globular cluster system. |
