Description

NGC 5907 ultra-deep

Credit: Giuseppe Donatiello, Alessandro Falesiedi, Mario Lovrencie, Tim Stone

This image collects data for about 240 total hours, coming from different instruments and astrocameras. The image includes a base obtained with data from ZTF survey.

Thanks to the depth reached, all previously known structures are reported. The most evident structure is the main loop which here appears structured in two parallel flows, the second weak loop is also recognizable (the vision is disturbed by the field stars but clearly visible). The stellar stream recently reported by the Dragonfly team is not, in all evidence, the continuation of the first loop, but an autonomous structure that continues blurred beyond.

In this image we see a new stellar stream directed towards the center of the galaxy and partially overlaps the previous one, creating a brighter region.
