That's Intriguing

  So, i'm in doubt. An Elliptical but with a blue star-forming ring around a bulge? Or maybe a result of somekind of a merge between an elliptical and a spiral.

  lol

  Probably not an elliptical then. When spirals are distant, they look fuzzy and resemble ellipticals..

  the astronomy community refers to spherical objects as "elliptical" and small compact objects look like that too. a "bulge" generally appears in lenticular objects. KUG 0027-025 is a dusty ETG (it's quite old) radio source and another flat spiral object 1237678879950307477 SE at this red shift for comparison. morphology catalog: http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/Sept11/Buta/Buta5.html

  Definitely not an elliptical for me too. Too many features. It could be a fuzzy spiral or disk galaxy with an inner ring of star forming areas.
