Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present nine newly discovered globular clusters in the outer halo of M31, found by a semi-automated procedure from a INT Wide Field Camera survey of the region. The sample includes a candidate at the yet largest known projected galactocentric radius from M31.
