Scientific paper

We have obtained ultra-deep visible light and Spitzer/IRAC images of the stellar stream around the nearby edge-on disk galaxy NGC 5907. We report on the color index distribution of the resolved emission from the stream, and our search for point sources and recent star formation associated with the stream. We speculate on the nature of the disrupted satellite galaxy, based on our observations. This work is based in part on observations made with the Spitzer Space Telescope, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under a contract with NASA. Support for this work was provided by NASA through an award issued by JPL/Caltech.
