SUMMARY:The SPLASH Survey of the Andromeda Galaxy\, Astronomy Special 
 Talk\, Raja GuhaThakurta\, UCO/Lick Observatory\, University of Califo
 rnia Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:Our nearest large spiral galaxy neighbor\, the Andromeda g
 alaxy (M31)\, and its dwarf satellites\, offer a panoramic yet detaile
 d view of galaxy formation and evolution in our astronomical backyard.
  This system also serves as an excellent laboratory for the study of s
 tellar populations because the stars are all practically at the same d
 istance from us. I will present results from the SPLASH (Spectroscopic
  and Photometric Landscape of Andromeda's Stellar Halo) survey\, the b
 ackbone of which was a large Keck DEIMOS spectroscopic survey of evolv
 ed stars in M31. Most of the SPLASH spectroscopic targets in M31's dis
 k were selected from the PHAT (Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury)
  survey\, a wide-field 6-filter Hubble Space Telescope mosaic image of
  a portion of the disk of M31. The talk will cover a range of science 
 topics including: Local Group dynamics\, structure/substructure and me
 tallicity of M31's stellar halo\, satellite tidal interactions\, disk/
 halo interface\, dynamical heating of the disk\, and rare stellar popu
 lations.
