[2][3] It was discovered in 2014 by amateur astronomers, making it the third spiral DRAGN after ESO 0313-192 and Speca.

[2] Mentioned as a megaparsec-scale object at redshift 0.0757,[4] J2345-0449 is one of the massive spiral galaxies found in the universe.

[2] According to Very Large Array 6 cm imaging, the inner radio lobes are categorized either Fanaroff-Riley Class I or FR II morphology.

[8] It has a mass of Mstellar = 4 × 1011 M⊙ and a surrounding ring of molecular gas measured 24 kpc wide in diameter.

The galaxy has a star formation rate with a surface density measured to be ΣSFR = 1.8 × 10−3 M⊙ yr−1 kpc−2.
