A Survey of Star Clusters in the M31 Southwest Field: UBVRI Photometry and Multiband Maps
Abstract
A new survey of star clusters in the southwest field of the M31 disk based on the high-resolution Subaru Suprime-Cam observations is presented. The UBVRI aperture CCD photometry catalog of 285 objects (V lesssim 20.5 mag; 169 of them identified for the first time) is provided. Each object is supplemented with multiband color maps presented in the electronic edition of the Astrophysical Journal Supplement. Seventy-seven star cluster candidates from the catalog are located in the Hubble Space Telescope archive frames.
