The M33 Globular Cluster System with PAndAS Data: the Last Outer Halo Cluster?

We use CFHT/MegaCam data to search for outer halo star clusters in M33 as part of the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey. This work extends previous studies out to a projected radius of 50 kpc and covers over 40 deg2. We find only one new unambiguous star cluster in addition to the five previously...

Zusammenfassung:	We use CFHT/MegaCam data to search for outer halo star clusters in M33 as part of the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey. This work extends previous studies out to a projected radius of 50 kpc and covers over 40 deg2. We find only one new unambiguous star cluster in addition to the five previously known in the M33 outer halo (10 kpc
