This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. The morphology suggests that it may comprise two distinct galactic nuclei, potentially representing the remnant cores of the merging galaxies. The overall form is irregular and disturbed. There is evidence of tidal interactions, specifically, it is possible that the bright orange region is the result of tidal interactions between the two galaxies. A fainter, extended halo surrounds the central components. The color distribution indicates varying stellar populations and/or dust content across the galaxy, with an overall redder hue suggestive of an older stellar population or significant dust obscuration. Based on the morphology, it is possible that it is a spiral galaxy that is currently being disturbed by the merger event.
