The galaxy exhibits a moderate degree of smoothness in its overall appearance, though not perfectly spherical. The shape is closer to in between round and cigar shaped, but is considered mostly round. There is evidence of significant tidal disturbances, indicating an ongoing or recent merger event. The primary body of the galaxy is somewhat diffuse, and the color indices suggest a higher concentration of older stars compared to younger, bluer populations. The merger appears to be in a late stage, with no distinct nuclei visible; however, the disrupted morphology suggests a significant gravitational interaction.
