This galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger or interaction. There are two apparent components. The larger, primary component exhibits a generally smooth morphology with a relatively concentrated nucleus, potentially indicating an older stellar population. This primary component displays a yellowish-white color. A secondary component appears close to the primary one, with a more elongated and disturbed morphology, suggesting tidal interactions between the two. This component is a more reddish yellow color. The overall luminosity is fairly high. The system is relatively compact given the signs of interaction, and the estimated stellar mass is likely significant. Star formation may be occurring, although the smooth nature of the primary object suggests a low specific star formation rate relative to its mass. The system does not appear to be a simple elliptical or spiral, given the disturbed morphology and color differences between the components.
