The galaxy presents an apparent morphology suggesting an interaction or merger event is underway. It is comprised of two distinct components: a dominant, relatively smooth, ellipsoidal component exhibiting a yellowish-white color indicative of an older stellar population, and an extended, blueish arm-like feature projecting from one side. The arm is suggestive of tidal debris or material stripped from the primary galaxy during an interaction. The overall shape is highly disturbed, deviating significantly from a simple elliptical or spiral morphology. The brighter yellow-white central region suggests a more concentrated stellar density, while the blueish arm indicates ongoing or recent star formation, likely triggered by the interaction or merger.
