Scientific paper

We have searched for globular clusters in BVRI CCD images of roughly one square degree of M31. We have used the point-spread function fitting routine DoPHOT (Mateo and Schechter, 1989) to identify the extended objects, and color and shape classifications to extract the globular clusters. We show that, in the area covered by our CCD images, our search detects many objects to which previous surveys (eg, Battistini et al 1987, Crampton et al 1985, Sargent et al 1979) were insensitive; we detect objects to a magnitude completion limit of approximately V = 20 and to a core radius limit of approximately 1 arcsec. We present a discussion of both our technique and some of our initial results.
