| Abstract | By applying a digital filtering technique to 1550 square degrees of the POSS-II in the vicinity of M31, we found two previously unidentified very low surface brightness dwarf galaxies which we designate And V and VI. Follow-up imaging with the KPNO 4-m telescope resolved these into stars easily. The V- and I- band images of And V indicate a distance similar to that of M31, and approximately -1.5. All evidence strongly supports its classification as a dwarf spheroidal companion to M31. Data for And VI are being analyzed, but preliminary indications support a similar conclusion. Our search for more dwarfs, including follow-up observations of numerous candidates found via digital filtering, is incomplete; thus, further identifications may be forthcoming. |
