The galaxy presents a morphology indicative of ongoing or recent merger activity. The primary body of the galaxy exhibits a somewhat smooth, elliptical appearance, yet there are visible disturbances suggestive of tidal interactions. A secondary concentration of light appears offset from the primary nucleus, potentially indicating a smaller galaxy in the process of merging. The color gradient shifts from bluer hues in the outer regions to a more pronounced reddish/yellowish core, likely indicating a population of older stars. The overall shape deviates from a perfect elliptical form, showing elongation and hints of disrupted spiral arms or tidal tails, although these features are not clearly defined. The dust lanes appear subdued, suggesting a relatively low dust content.
