This galaxy appears to be in the process of merging with another galactic object. The main body of the galaxy presents a smooth, elongated morphology reminiscent of a late-type spiral, but with a somewhat disrupted appearance. A secondary, fainter component is visible, suggesting ongoing gravitational interaction between the two systems. The galaxy shows signs of moderate star formation, as indicated by the blue light and the apparent colors. The overall color distribution suggests a population of intermediate-age stars dominating the visible light. The object is not perfectly circular but rather has a cigar-like shape. There is some visual evidence of tidal features resulting from the merger.
