MCG -03-04-014 or PGC 4167, is a spiral galaxy located 450 million light-years in the constellation of Cetus.[1] MCG -03-04-014 is classified as a luminous infrared galaxy, has high star-formation regions.[2][3] and its galactic center obscured by dust lanes.[2] The reasons behind the luminosity of this galaxy are debated among astronomers. Some attribute it to recent starbursts, while others point to activity in the galaxies' supermassive black holes. It is also considered that both factors may contribute. The exact cause remains uncertain.[2]
According to SIMBAD, it is considered to be a Seyfert type 1 galaxy, hence the possible reason for its luminosity level.[4]
