The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or merger. The primary body of the galaxy presents a generally smooth profile, but exhibits noticeable disturbances and asymmetries in its structure.  There is a secondary, smaller, diffuse component located close to the main body. This component is less well-defined and could be a smaller galaxy being tidally disrupted or a region of intense star formation triggered by the interaction. The overall shape deviates significantly from a regular elliptical or spiral form, suggesting a dynamically active system. Based on the presence of two components it can be considered a merging system. Evidence of ongoing star formation is implied by the color, with slightly bluer regions interspersed with more yellow/red areas, indicative of both younger and older stellar populations.
