The large-scale structure of the halo of the Andromeda galaxy. I. Global stellar density, morphology and metallicity properties

We present an analysis of the large-scale structure of the halo of the Andromeda galaxy, based on the Pan-Andromeda Archeological Survey (PAndAS), currently the most complete map of resolved stellar populations in any galactic halo. Despite the presence o
