AGN?

The core in this galaxy is really bright. Could this be an AGN?

Hi and welcome @CeliliaB 😃
Just by looking at the image I would say no - the core is not bright or well defined enough for my liking. A look at the spectra would give us a clue as to whether the galaxy harbours an AGN, and luckily for us one has been taken for this galaxy 😄
.
An older galaxy with not a lot of active star formation - no signs of a AGN.
Hope this helps and do let us know if you have any other questions 😃
Capella.
