Caption: Fig. 8.

IRAC false color image of the NGC 5291 system, defined by 3.6 μm (blue), 4.5 μm (green), 5.8 μm (orange), and 8.0 μm (red). The stellar emission has been subtracted from the 5.8 and 8.0 μm channels. Sources dominated by starlight (e.g., NGC 5291 and Seashell) are blue in color, while objects with strong PAH emission, including TDGs and the flocculent spiral galaxy (source 5 in Table 4), are red in color.
