The nucleus of M32 at 0.2 arcsec resolution

High-resolution multicolor CCD images of the nucleus of M32 obtained with the image-stabilization high-resolution camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope are analyzed. Results confirm the central flattening of the surface brightness profile of M32, as indicated by the lower-resolution photometry of Tonry (1987) and Michard and Nieto (1991). The central slope of the deconvolved surface brightness profile of M32 is consistent with a range of power-law index gamma between values of -0.8 and 0.
