The galaxy appears to be in a state of interaction, possibly a merger. There are two distinct cores visible, a brighter, bluer component and a less bright, yellower component. The blue core is compact and relatively round and exhibits colors consistent with a population of young, hot stars. The yellow core is more diffuse, and the light emitted suggests a population of older stars. Faint tidal features or distortions appear to surround the system, potentially indicating recent or ongoing gravitational interaction. A possible stream of material appears to extend outwards from the galaxy, possibly linking the two cores. There seems to be an overall smooth texture to the galaxy.
