Scientific paper

The Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) is a Large Program on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Over the next three years, it will map the entire haloes of M31 and M33 out to projected radii of 150kpc and 50kpc respectively, over an area of more than 320 square degrees, probing a volume of more than 15 million cubic kiloparsecs around M31 and M33, reaching to surface brightness limits of order 32 mags/sq.arcsec. PAndAS will provide the deepest and most complete panorama of galaxy haloes available, and will be used to compare to and constrain cosmological models of galaxy formation over an order of magnitude in halo mass. In this talk I will review the project, discuss its main science goals, and present first results.
