This galaxy appears to be part of a system of interacting galaxies, showing a possible merging event or tidal interaction. The larger galaxy exhibits an elliptical morphology with a slightly elongated shape. Its color profile suggests an older stellar population, possibly with a minimal amount of ongoing star formation. The light distribution is smooth, indicating a lack of prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes. A second, smaller object to the left appears more compact and amorphous. This object's morphology might be due to tidal disruption as a result of gravitational interaction with the primary galaxy. The spatial proximity of the two galaxies suggests a physical association at a redshift of approximately 0.224, indicating a substantial distance and lookback time. Overall, the system presents a moderate mass range, with the primary galaxy dominating the overall structure.
