Beskrivning

The Andromeda galaxy, or M31, is an attractive galaxy for astronomers. It is close to us, it is of about the size of our galaxy, it provides some intriguing observational puzzles because the galaxy us nearly edge-on, and many objects can be studied in detail because they are still sufficiently bright. With the current developments in instrumentation with which increasingly detailed studies of the Andromeda galaxy can be made, this book provides a foundation for the start of new observations. The work is a source of information on M31, and can be used by both insiders and newcomers to the field.
