The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger event. There are two distinct components. The northern component is significantly more yellow in color, suggesting an older stellar population and less active star formation. This component appears relatively smooth and elliptical in shape. The southern component is distinctly blue, indicative of a younger stellar population and ongoing star formation. This component is less defined in shape, possibly due to tidal disruption from the interaction or active star-forming regions obscuring a more regular structure. There is evidence of tidal tails or bridges connecting or emanating from the merging components.
