Surrounding the central black hole is a ring of star-forming regions with a network of gas and dust spiraling from the ring to the black hole.

Around the black hole there is a ring of gas and dust that forms an accretion disk, where intense star formation processes occur.
NGC 1097 is also a Seyfert galaxy, with jets emanating from the nucleus. Like most galaxies, NGC 1097 has a supermassive black hole at its center.
