LIGHTS. The Thin Encircling Stellar Stream of NGC 3938

We present a stellar stream found in images of the nearby, nearly face-on, late-type galaxy, NGC 3938 obtained for the Large Binocular Telescope Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures (LIGHTS) survey that is thin, has very low mean surface brightness (〈 μ _g 〉 ≈ 28.7 mag arcsec ^−2 and 〈 μ _...
