Abstract

We present the first physical disc model of NGC 5907, which reproduces simultaneouly the multi-band photometry in U, B, V, R, and I- band (Just et al., 2006, A&A in press, astro-ph/0608196). The model is based on the star formation history and dynamical evolution of the disc and includes dust extinction consistent with the dust properties derived from FIR observations. We also find naturally the stellar light eccess of the young sub-population near the midplane (hidden by the dust), which is required to heat the dust.
