    Hi trinitytozier and welcome to the Zoo

    I'm not sure I understand your comment, sorry.

    What we have here is a disturbed barred spiral with an inner ring. Maybe you are referring to the bar ?
    Here's what wiki has to say about barred spirals : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barred_spiral_galaxy

    Hope this helps.

    Happy hunting !
