[58.04] Deep Multi-Color Surface Photometry of an Edge-on Spiral Galaxy Halo

B. J. Rauscher (Space Telescope Science Institute), D. Barnaby (Western Kentucky University)

Using telescopes at CTIO and at the South Pole, we have obtained very deep VR&K band images of the late type edge-on spiral galaxy ESO 240-G11. We use these data, and stellar population synthesis models, to discuss halo, bulge, and disk stellar populations in the context of recent N-body simulations.
