The SPLASH Survey of the Andromeda Galaxy
I will present results from our group's study of the Andromeda galaxy. Topics will include: M31's dynamical mass, bulk tangential motion and impending encounter with the Milky Way, dwarf satellite dynamics and stellar content, (sub)structure, kinematics, metallicity, and age of the stellar halo, dynamics of the stellar disk, rare stellar populations, etc. Our study is based on a combination of ground-based and HST photometry and Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy.
