Abstract
Using the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope, Thomas Brown 
(STScI) et al. obtained deep optical images reaching well below the oldest main 
sequence turnoff in six fields of the Andromeda Galaxy. The fields fall at four 
positions on the southeast minor axis, one position in the giant stellar stream, 
and one position on the northeast major axis. These data were obtained as part of 
three large observing programs (9453, 10265, 10816) designed to probe the star 
formation history of the stellar population in various structures of the galaxy.
