Description
An H-alpha survey, using a focal reducer and narrow-band interference filters, has resulted in the detection of nearly a thousand HII regions in M31. The catalog gives their positions, dimensions, and surface brightnesses. The surface brightnesses are on an absolute scale; the photographic measures were calibrated by using photoelectric measures from two different sources. The detection limit reached corresponds to an emission measure of 40cm^-6^pc at a temperature of 10000K.
