Abstract

We utilise the final catalogue from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey to investigate the links between the globular cluster system and field halo in M31 at projected radii $R_p=25-150$ kpc. In this region the cluster radial density profile exhibits a power-law decline with index $\Gamma=-2.37\pm0.17$, matching that for the stellar halo component with [Fe/H] $
