Abstract
We have observed an object having strong Balmer absorption lines and b lue continuum. The inference about the nuclear stellar population draw n from the line ratios is basically coincident with that drawn from th e continuum color, both indicating the dominant fraction of early A ty pe population in the nucleus. This might be expected only if there has been a very massive starburst, burst strength of > 10% at least.
