I'm no expert but it seems this galaxy has star formation based on the radio waves and two jets from a supermassive black hole.

The three radio sources from the center up slightly to the right form a #triple (two #lobes and a #core). The host is a quasar, zsp 1.013 SDSS J152459.49+082851.8:
The fainter, point-like radio emission to the NE (top left) is from a spiral galaxy, zsp 0.044 SDSS J152503.72+082926.9. Its spectrum shows that it is indeed a site of star formation:
Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃

The compact radio source in the disk galaxy can be a low-luminosity AGN. It's difficult to disentangle between a central starburst or AGN...
