The galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, appearing generally smooth with some irregularity. The color profile suggests a population dominated by older stars, exhibiting a yellowish hue in the central regions. There are indications of ongoing tidal disturbances or a merger event, with some suggestion of multiple nuclei, or potentially foreground objects. However, this image appears to indicate that this is a galaxy undergoing an active or recent merger with another galaxy. The shape is slightly elongated and has more roundness than a cigar shape. There is a faint, diffuse halo extending beyond the more concentrated central region. Overall, the galaxy shows characteristics consistent with an evolved system experiencing gravitational interaction.
