The galaxy appears to be in a state of interaction or possible merger with another galactic object. There are two primary luminous concentrations with diffuse halos that seem to overlap. The overall color appears to be yellowish-orange, suggesting a population of older stars. It has a smooth appearance with one bright central concentration. The shape is more "in between" than perfectly round or elongated. There are no prominent spiral arms visible, or dust lanes suggesting a lack of ongoing major star formation. However, there is a hint of a redder region on the outskirts of the larger galaxy, possibly indicating a zone of localized star formation. There is evidence of tidal disturbances, most likely from the presence of the adjacent galaxy. The system exhibits morphological features consistent with a galaxy at moderate redshift.
