Thatā€™s the residuals layer (the models havenā€™t done a great job so thereā€™s some residual junk). The ā€˜ringsā€™ arenā€™t real.

Youā€™re viewing this in the ā€œresidualsā€ layer, which is I believe when the ellipse halos were removed. In the original images, there appears to be a pair of overlapping galaxies. I also copied on the Zooniverse link.
