The galaxy presents a complex morphology. There is a dominant, centrally located, smooth component exhibiting a yellow-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. A fainter, more diffuse, blue-tinged region surrounds the core. The overall shape appears to be elliptical, with some irregularity. It appears that this galaxy is in the process of merging with or accreting a smaller galaxy. This smaller galaxy appears to be undergoing active star formation as evidenced by the blue color. Although the galaxy is largely smooth, it seems to have faint features, possibly indicative of a disk.
