The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. There is a clear disruption of the galaxy's morphology. The primary body of the galaxy exhibits a disturbed, non-symmetric shape, with tidal tails and distorted features suggestive of gravitational interaction with another galaxy. There are multiple bright, concentrated regions which may be the original cores of merging galaxies. The overall color of the galaxy is generally yellow and reddish, consistent with a population of older stars, but there are tinges of blue which indicate some areas of on going star formation, particularly in the brighter regions. The central regions show a higher concentration of light compared to the outer regions which is consistent with a bulge. The galaxy is relatively compact, with no well-defined spiral arms or other features typically associated with undisturbed disk galaxies.
