The galaxy presents as a complex system, exhibiting a morphology suggesting an ongoing or recent merger event. Two distinct, roughly spherical components are discernible, with a notable color gradient between them; the larger component appears more yellow, potentially indicating an older stellar population, while the smaller exhibits a more reddish hue, hinting at possible on-going star formation, though dust obscuration could also be a factor. Tidal features are not immediately obvious, although the elongated and somewhat distorted overall shape implies gravitational interaction. The system appears relatively compact, with a concentrated light profile, but displays a slight asymmetry, further supporting the merger hypothesis. Given the brightness of the galaxy and the likely distance due to redshift, it appears to be relatively massive.
