| Abstract: | In comparing a U- and a B-plate of the Tautenburg 2 m Schmidt telescope 7 scattered groupings of blue objects have been discovered in the outer regions of the large Andromeda nebula. A closer investigation showed these objects to be apparently so far not known OB associations, well fitting to a spiral structure. With distances from the centre of the Andromeda nebula between R = 22.8 kpc and R = 27.9 kpc the objects still surpass the most distant association OB 188 of VAN den BERGH (R = 25.0 kpc). |
