    Hi bretspath and welcome to the Zoo 😃

    This is a single galaxy with what we would call a pseudo-ring. This thread on the old Galaxy Zoo forum has some more information on rings a pseudo rings - along with more examples.

    Ringed and Psuedo-ringed galaxies

    Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.
