The galaxy presents as a system undergoing an apparent interaction. The main body of the galaxy appears to be a disk, viewed at an angle. It exhibits a strong central bulge with a smooth distribution of light, and relatively smooth arms. The arms display a bluer color, suggesting recent star formation relative to the central bulge, which has a more yellow/red hue. There seems to be a less massive secondary object in close proximity. This secondary object is also blue in color, also suggesting recent star formation. There appears to be a tidal bridge of light extending from the main galaxy toward the nearby companion, indicating gravitational interaction between the two galaxies. The secondary object is likely tidally disrupting and will eventually merge with the primary galaxy. Overall, this system shows indications of disturbance and ongoing merging activity.
