The galaxy presents a morphology suggestive of an ongoing merger or interaction between two distinct galactic components. The system is characterized by two primary luminous regions, appearing as separate entities but exhibiting connecting features indicating gravitational interaction. One component displays a slightly more diffuse and amorphous structure compared to the other, which has a more compact and concentrated central region. The color gradients suggest differential stellar populations, with the central regions displaying a yellower hue possibly indicating older stellar populations, while the outer regions seem to have bluer star-forming regions. Evidence of tidal features or disturbed morphology is present, indicating a dynamically active system. Overall, the system appears to be a complex, intermediate-stage merger involving two galaxies of comparable size, and is likely experiencing elevated levels of star formation due to the interaction.
