Scientific paper

Observational properties of the largest Local Group spiral M31 (Andromeda galaxy) are presented. Similar to the Milky Way Galaxy, the main components of M31 are nucleus, bulge, disc and halo. In this paper, we have summarized the most recent observational and research progress for each component. It is concentrated on the M31 disk stellar populations and star formation history, the globular clusters distribution and the halo properties. Finally, a detailed comparison for the observed values of each component and formation mechanism between M31 and our Galaxy is given.
