They are located at a distance of 465 million light-years from Earth and are classified as luminous infrared galaxies.

These spiral arms are shown to have dust obscuring background light of stars behind its regions.

[5] It has almost the same appearance and size to PGC 9074, but with a fainter bulge and a slight altered spiral arm structure: its coils are further away.

[9][8] It has a high surface brightness[11] and contains a one-sided jet measured to be 0.144 arcsecs or 103 pc, with a 'kidney-bean' shaped structure located within its optical core.

[12] The galaxy is also interacting with PGC 9074, in which eventually they will merge together to form a larger entity in hundreds of millions of years.
