The galaxy exhibits a disturbed morphology, suggestive of an ongoing or recent merger event. The light distribution is not uniform, presenting two distinct, bright nuclei, which are likely the coalescing cores of the progenitor galaxies. The overall shape appears mostly rounded, although distorted by the interaction. There are hints of tidal features, though they are faint, likely due to the considerable distance and smoothing effect of the image resolution. The color gradient suggests that the core of the galaxy is composed of older stellar populations, indicated by the redder hue in the center. The merger fraction is high, possibly in its late stage. Star formation is low. The overall structure supports the classification as an elliptical galaxy undergoing a major merger.
