This galaxy exhibits a morphology that appears to be undergoing a merger event. A dominant, relatively smooth central component is visible, along with a secondary component that appears to be gravitationally interacting. There are suggestions of tidal distortion or disruption, with the overall light distribution appearing asymmetric. The galaxy's color profile indicates a mixture of stellar populations, with bluer regions possibly indicative of more recent star formation, and redder regions likely populated by older stars. The relatively smooth appearance of the central component indicates that the galaxy may either be transitioning towards a more elliptical morphology. The disturbed nature of the overall light distribution indicates an active dynamical state, likely driven by the ongoing merger.
