DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Souradeep Bhattacharya (Inter University Center for 
 Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA)\, Pune\, India)\nAndromeda (M31) is the
  nearest giant spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and the most massive member 
 of the Local Group. It has long been recognized that M31's mass measuremen
 t is essential to understand the formation and evolution of the Local Grou
 p. I will review the different observational and modelling techniques that
  have developed over time to measure the mass of M31. I will discuss the t
 he best constraints today of the M31 mass and the consistency of that obta
 ined from different techniques. I will also discuss possible improvements 
 on the M31 mass measurement from improved techniques driven by data from f
 orthcoming instruments and surveys.\n\nhttps://iaus379.aip.de/event/20/con
