The star formation rate implied by both the Ly-alpha and restframe far-UV continuum is approximately 7 M_sun / yr. The galaxy also shows no sign of an active nucleus and has blue colors, both consistent with it being observed early in its star formation history. The Ly-alpha emission is offset approximately 200 km/s from the DLA velocity, which could be explained as the rotational signature of a disk galaxy.
