Abstract
The Einstein X‐ray Observatory Satellite provided the first detection of isolated x‐ray sources in the Andromeda Galaxy. Recent ROSAT observations have provided observations of the x‐ray binaries in M31 complete to Lx∼1034 erg sec−1, and are sensitive enough to detect many supernova remnants and other x‐ray sources. Optical identifications are crucial to identify or confirm the identifications of these sources. This article reviews the search for optical counterparts to the Einstein x‐ray sources and discusses the ongoing efforts of the MIT‐UvA‐MPE group to identify optical counterparts to the ROSAT x‐ray sources.
