The galaxy presents a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. It appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or merger event. Two distinct, reddish cores are visible, suggesting the presence of two galactic nuclei in close proximity. These cores are likely sites of intense star formation activity, indicated by the reddish hue. The overall color gradient suggests a population of older stars dominating the central regions, with possibly younger, bluer stars interspersed, especially in regions undergoing interaction. Faint, diffuse tidal features or disrupted spiral arm segments are suggested around the main body, providing further evidence of an ongoing merger. The system appears to be actively forming stars, although these regions are obscured and difficult to resolve, which contributes to the lack of defined structure. The galaxy appears relatively smooth in overall structure, besides the disturbed morphology.
