**NGC 5907** (also known as **NGC 5906**, **Knife Edge Galaxy**, or **Splinter Galaxy**) is a [spiral galaxy](/source/Spiral_galaxy) located approximately 46.5 million [light years](/source/Light_year) from [Earth](/source/Earth).[2] German-British astronomer [William Herschel](/source/William_Herschel) discovered the galaxy on 5 May 1788.[4] Its most notable features are its large [stellar stream](/source/Stellar_stream) and [ultraluminous X-ray source](/source/Ultraluminous_X-ray_source).

## Characteristics

NGC 5907 has an anomalously low [metallicity](/source/Metallicity) and few detectable [giant stars](/source/Giant_stars), being apparently composed almost entirely of [dwarf stars](/source/Dwarf_star).[5] It is a member of the [NGC 5866 Group](/source/NGC_5866_Group).

NGC 5907 has long been considered a prototypical example of a warped spiral in relative isolation. In 1998, a faint ring structure, likely caused by a disrupted [dwarf spheroidal galaxy](/source/Dwarf_spheroidal_galaxy), was first observed around the galaxy.[6] This challenged the assumption of isolation and suggests the gravitational perturbations induced by the stream progenitor may be the cause for the warp. Then, in 2008, an international team of astronomers announced the presence of an extended double loop tidal stream coiling around the galaxy.[7] The existence of part of these tidal streams has been recently challenged by some deeper surveys, which show only a single knee-shaped stream as opposed to the full double loop structure.[8] This shorter stream has a length of 45′ in the sky (or a physical size of 220 kpc) and has a surface brightness ranging from 27.6 mag/arcsec2 at its brightest to 28.8 at its faintest.[9]

An [ultraluminous X-ray source](/source/Ultraluminous_X-ray_source), [NGC 5907 ULX-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NGC_5907_ULX-1&action=edit&redlink=1), is located in the galaxy.[10] This source is also called an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar (ULXP) because it exhibits a rapid pulsation effect. This pulsation has a period of 5.7 days and is caused by a rotating [neutron star](/source/Neutron_star) orbiting a [high mass companion](/source/X-ray_binary).[11] The neutron star itself has a spin period of 1.13 seconds and seems to be accelerating; its period ten years prior was 1.43 seconds.[10] It is one of the brightest such source yet discovered with a luminosity over 1041 erg/s (7 orders of magnitude more luminous than the Sun).[12] Notably, its peak luminosity is over 1000 times greater than the [Eddington luminosity](/source/Eddington_luminosity) for a neutron star.[10]

NGC 5907 and the galaxy **[KUG 1513+566](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=KUG_1513%2B566&action=edit&redlink=1)** are listed together as **[Holm 704](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Holm_704&action=edit&redlink=1)** in [Erik Holmberg's](/source/Erik_Holmberg_(astronomer)) *A Study of Double and Multiple Galaxies Together with Inquiries into some General Metagalactic Problems*, published in 1937.[13]

## NGC 5907 group

NGC 5907 is part of a group of galaxies that bears its name. The NGC 5907 group (also known as [LGG](/source/Lyons_Groups_of_Galaxies) 396) has at least four members, including [Messier 102](/source/Messier_102), [NGC 5879](/source/NGC_5879), and UGC 9776.[14]

## Supernovae

Two [supernovae](/source/Supernova) have been observed in NGC 5907:

- **SN 1940A** ([Type II-L](/source/Type_II_supernova#Light_curves_for_Type_II-L_and_Type_II-P_supernovae), mag 14.3) was discovered by Josef J. Johnson on 16 February 1940.[15][16][17]

- **SN 2026kid** ([Type II](/source/Type_II_supernova), mag. 16.62) was discovered by Yasuo Sano on 22 April 2026.[18]

## Location

- The edge-on galaxy is seen in the constellation Draco, near the star [iota Draconis](/source/Iota_Draconis). It is seen in the sky near to the much more distant galaxy [NGC 5965](/source/NGC_5965).

## NGC Identification

NGC 5907 is also known as NGC 5906.[4][19] This second NGC number refers to a fainter part of the galaxy[4] lying west of the dust lane[19] that was recorded by astronomer and physicist [George Johnstone Stoney](/source/George_Johnstone_Stoney) on April 13, 1850.[4]
