The galaxy presents as an apparent merger system. There is a central, relatively smooth component that is somewhat cigar-shaped. It displays a yellow-white color, suggestive of an older stellar population. Adjacent to it is another component, which is brighter and less defined, displaying a bluer hue. The bluer color likely indicates ongoing star formation activity. There is possible evidence of a minor disturbance in the overall morphology of the system. The light from the galaxy is redshifted, indicating it is relatively distant. The galaxy exhibits an overall luminosity, suggesting an active star formation rate.
