Halton Arp organized his catalog of unusual galaxies into groups according to purely morphological criteria. This galaxy belongs to the class spiral galaxies with separated sections (Arp catalog) .

The supernovae SN 1991G (Type IIP) and SN 2009dd (Type II) were observed here.

The object was discovered by Wilhelm Herschel on March 9, 1788 .
