    Galaxy has bar and inner ring. What type it is? Sb0?

    Sadly found only half image from CFHT R-band which is borderline useless

    Just a formality

    NVSS strongly suggests that SDSS J001627.47+022602.1 is a host ( also visible in VLSSr but it is just side note )

    Really it does not look like an usual elliptical... 0 abstracts in ADS... any opinion?

    May be this is an example of how important is the topic introduced by @JeanTate about "what exactly is a spiral?"

    Really it does not look like an usual elliptical

    Because it is not

    .Bar, inner ring, outer ring; looks to me like an early type spiral

    Sb0 lenticular galaxy, for that matter
