ring galaxy

A very rare type of galaxy that has the form of an elliptical ring either with a massive nucleus, often off-center, or with little or no luminous material visible in its interior. In many cases there is a small satellite galaxy devoid of interstellar gas. The ring configuration is thought to be unstable and it has been suggested that these systems may represent the after-effects of a collision between two galaxies.
