The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger event. The primary component exhibits a smooth, ellipsoidal morphology, indicative of an early-type galaxy, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy. There's evidence of a tidal tail or disrupted structure extending from the main body of the galaxy, suggesting gravitational interaction with another galaxy. The color profile suggests a population of older stars with a dominant redder hue. A fainter disk-like structure seems to be interacting with the main body, oriented roughly perpendicular. This structure shows hints of dust lanes or star formation regions with bluer colors. The overall shape is somewhat elongated but mostly in-between round and cigar-shaped. The galaxy exhibits disturbances implying past or ongoing interaction with other galaxies. The image supports the classification as a merging system, displaying features characteristic of galaxy interactions and potentially indicating a transition towards a more relaxed state.
