faint traces of a collision?

besides the interesting colour and shape, is there a collision on the to right corner visible? I see a ring shape object with a bulge(?) in the centre.

The interesting galaxy is VIII Zw 483 , or Zwicky 483. It looks like a collision, which has produced starforming regions and supernova remnants. The tall peaks on the left indicated hot oxygen, which comes from starburst regions.

The ring may be an artifact of the fuzziness of the image. There are no usual colours in it which would make me think it is a real ring.
