Interesting object

Compact Core Structure. Maybe this is not that unusual but I wanted to start a thread about this galaxy in particular and link papers related about this galaxy. The motivation behind this galaxy in particular is related to some research I am doing about high z compact galaxies and what I am interested in is looking at just the core. The core of this galaxy seems to be very compact with respect to other large elliptical galaxies. This is just a personal project.
