Low-mass galaxies are typically irregular in shape and lack the spiral arms and structure of more massive galaxies. Additionally, being situated 10 kiloparsecs away from a flocculent spiral galaxy would not have a significant influence on the shape of the low-mass galaxy, so we can conclude that it is most likely an irregular galaxy.
