The fainter parts of the bulge are nearly circular, about one arcminute in diameter, and with spiral whorls.

[7] In ultraviolet the galaxy is asymmetric, with stronger emission west of the nucleus.

These asymmetry could be the result of recent gas accretion, and a complete star formation ring hasn't yet formed.

Its spectrum showed it was a type Ic supernova two days post maximum.

[10] Its progenitor couldn't be detected in archive images by Hubble Space Telescope, indicating it had an absolute magnitude of less than -7.

[12] At the end of the tail a tidal dwarf galaxy, AGC 208457, has formed.
