Globulars in M31
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present deep (V=~27) V- and I-band stellar photometry of G302 and G312, two globular star clusters in the halo of M31.
Description
These data were obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field/Planetary Camera 2. We find iron abundances of [Fe/H]=-1.85+/-0.12 for G302 and [Fe/H]=-0.56+/-0.03 for G312, consistent with spectroscopic measurements.
The color-magnitude diagrams for each cluster show no evidence for an intermediate-aged population of stars, or a second parameter effect in the morphology of the horizontal branch. G302 shows no evidence for a color gradient but the inner regions of G312 are bluer than the outer regions. G312 shows no evidence of ellipticity or an extended halo of stars.

G302 has a projected ellipticity of {epsilon}=0.195+/-0.012 with the projected major axis oriented towards the center of M31. G302 also shows evidence of an extended asymmetric stellar halo extending to at least twice the fitted Michie-King tidal radius. The amount of mass beyond the tidal radius of G302 is consistent with the stellar escape rates which have been predicted by N-body simulations of globular clusters in the Galactic tidal field.
