Abstract
M 31, the closest large spiral galaxy to our own, is the best object for studying molecular clouds and their relation to the spiral structure. As one of the astronomical objects with the best known distance (0.78 ± 0.02 Mpc), it is also one of the best places where to estimate molecular clouds masses through the Virial Theorem.
