The observed galaxy exhibits a morphology indicative of an ongoing merger event. A bright, relatively round component is visible, exhibiting a smooth light profile. Adjacent to this primary body, a secondary structure is present, displaying a distinctly different color profile, suggesting variations in stellar populations or dust content. The overall shape deviates significantly from a regular elliptical or spiral form, lending credence to the hypothesis of an active merger in progress. Tidal features, such as extended plumes or tails, are subtle, but the disturbed morphology of the two main bodies suggests a gravitational interaction has occurred. The color gradients within the galaxy indicate spatial variations in star formation or dust extinction. Further spectroscopic analysis would be required to determine the redshift, stellar populations, and precise nature of the interaction.
