Multiphotometry of M31 outer halo globular clusters
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
In this paper, we present photometry of 53 globular clusters (GCs) in the M31 outer halo, including the GALEX FUV and NUV, SDSS ugriz, 15 intermediate-band filters of BATC, and 2MASS JHKs bands.
Description
By comparing the multicolour photometry with stellar population synthesis models, we determine the metallicities, ages, and masses for these GCs, aiming to probe the merging/accretion history of M31. We find no clear trend of metallicity and mass with the de-projected radius.
The halo GCs with age younger than ~8Gyr are mostly located at the de-projected radii around 100kpc, but this may be due to a selection effect. We also find that the halo GCs have consistent metallicities with their spatially-associated substructures, which provides further evidence of the physical association between them. Both the disk and halo GCs in M31 show a bimodal luminosity distribution.

However, we should emphasize that there are more faint halo GCs which are not being seen in the disk. There are more faint halo GCs than the disk ones, and these faint GCs constitute the fainter part in the luminosity function. The bimodal luminosity function of the halo GCs may reflect different origin or evolution environment in their original hosts.
The M31 halo GCs includes one intermediate metallicity group (-1.5<[Fe/H]<-0.4) and one metal-poor group ([Fe/H]<-1.5), while the disk GCs have one metal-rich group more. There are considerable differences between the halo GCs in M31 and the Milky Way (MW). The total number of M31 GCs is approximately three times more numerous than that of the MW, however, M31 has about six times the number of halo GCs in the MW.
Compared to M31 halo GCs, the Galactic halo ones are mostly metal-poor. Both the numerous halo GCs and the higher-metallicity component are suggestive of an active merger history of M31.
