MCG-03-04-014 or PGC 4167, is a spiral galaxy located 450 million light-years in the constellation of Cetus.[2] MCG-03-04-014 is classified as a luminous infrared galaxy,[3][4] meaning it has high star-formation regions.[5][6] MCG-03-04-014 has a galactic center that is obscured by dust lanes[5] and presents an abundant supply of molecular gas.[7] 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.[5]

According to SIMBAD, it is considered to be a Seyfert type 1 galaxy, hence the possible reason for its luminosity level.[1]
