Galaxies that emit much more radiation (different types of radiation) than a typical galaxy. This actually happens in the galaxy's center, so it's more accurate to talk about an active galactic nucleus. The active galactic nucleus is believed to be caused by a black hole. From Wikipedia: " The radiation from AGN is believed to be a result of accretion of mass by a supermassive black hole at the centre of its host galaxy."

What two types of galaxies are described as barred and normal?

SB and SA are two types of galaxies which are described respectively as barred and normal. Both types fall within the spiral form which galaxies may assume. S and SA more specifically qualify for the classifications of ordinary or unbarred within the spiral form of normal galaxies while only SB receives the categorization of barred type of normal, spiral galaxy.
