how to classify this galaxy

• by gamma7

  This is more a ringlike structure rather than spiral arms - how do we classify this?
  Additional: odd object to the left, irregular structure. Do I need to comment on this?

  You are correct that it is confusing. I would say ring, though it is a #pseudoring. Object to the left looks like two galaxies, nearly overlapping.
