cds-question@unistra.frglobular-star-clustersradial-velocitymetallicityWith the ultimate aim of distinguishing between various models describing the formation of galaxy halos (e.g., radial or multiphase collapse and random mergers), we have completed a spectroscopic study of the globular cluster system of M31. We present the results of deep intermediate-resolution fiber-optic spectroscopy of several hundred of the M31 globular clusters using the Wide Field Fibre Optic Spectrograph at the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma, Canary Islands. These observations have yielded precise radial velocities (+/-12km/s) and metallicities (+/-0.26dex) for over 200 members of the M31 globular cluster population out to a radius of 1.5{deg} from the galaxy center. Many of these clusters have no previous published radial velocity or [Fe/H] estimates, and the remainder typically represent significant improvements over earlier determinations. We present analyses of the spatial, kinematic, and metal abundance properties of the M31 globular clusters.2002AJ....123.2490Phttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/123/2490CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+AS/116/447 : M31 globulars clusters ellipticities (Staneva+, 1996)J/AJ/114/1488 : Globulars in M31 (Holland+ 1997)J/AJ/119/727 : M31 globular clusters photometry (Barmby+, 2000)J/AJ/122/2458 : M31 globular clusters from HST (Barmby+, 2001)J/AcA/48/455 : Globular Clusters in M31 and M33 (Mochejska+, 1998)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/123/2490https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/123/2490http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/123/2490https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/123/2490https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/123/2490http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/123/2490GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AJ/123/2490/table3 (Wide Field Fibre Optic Spectrograph (WYFFOS) Results)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/123/2490/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/123/2490/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/123/2490/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true8.828727840.15324270.0055555555555555566/2619 2622-2623 2666-2667 2705 2708-2709 2752https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AJ/123/2490?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/AJ/123/2490/table3Wide Field Fibre Optic Spectrograph (WYFFOS) ResultsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
