Scientific paper

A model of the Hoag object as an oblate triaxial S0 galaxy surrounded by an elliptical polar ring is proposed. Parameters of the core and the ring are determined along with the view angle at which the model optimally simulates the properties of the object. It is noted that the characteristics of all known Hoag-type galaxies can be explained in the same way, and that this significantly increases the number of galaxies with polar rings.
