This galaxy of slightly disturbed elliptical morphology has particularly strong extended emission line regions. These emission line regions are aligned with the radio emission [Heckman et al.1984,Blundell1996]. The NICMOS image shows faint tails, most likely Pa emission, to the east and west overlapping the optical emission line regions.
