Abstract:
    We present deep (V=~27) V- and I-band stellar photometry of G302 and
    G312, two globular star clusters in the halo of M31. These data were
    obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field/Planetary
    Camera 2. We find iron abundances of [Fe/H]=-1.85+/-0.12 for G302
    and [Fe/H]=-0.56+/-0.03 for G312, consistent with spectroscopic
    measurements. The color-magnitude diagrams for each cluster show no
    evidence for an intermediate-aged population of stars, or a second
    parameter effect in the morphology of the horizontal branch. G302
    shows no evidence for a color gradient but the inner regions of G312
    are bluer than the outer regions. G312 shows no evidence of
    ellipticity or an extended halo of stars. G302 has a projected
    ellipticity of {epsilon}=0.195+/-0.012 with the projected major axis
    oriented towards the center of M31. G302 also shows evidence of an
    extended asymmetric stellar halo extending to at least twice the
    fitted Michie-King tidal radius. The amount of mass beyond the tidal
    radius of G302 is consistent with the stellar escape rates which have
    been predicted by N-body simulations of globular clusters in the
    Galactic tidal field.
