This galaxy exhibits characteristics suggesting it is undergoing a merger event. Two distinct, roughly spheroidal components of similar apparent size are visually apparent. These components exhibit a bright, concentrated core. A faint bridge of light appears to connect the two cores, suggesting tidal interactions. A plume, fainter and bluer than the main components, extends away from the system. This plume is not distinctly resolved and appears diffuse. The overall color of the system is a broad-band mix of blue, green, and red wavelengths. This indicates a mix of stellar populations. The main components appear somewhat smoother in overall structure than the tail. Overall, the system suggests dynamic interaction and ongoing gravitational disturbance.
