This galaxy exhibits a complex morphology suggestive of an ongoing or recent merger event. It appears to be composed of at least two distinct components: a larger, more diffuse component with a smoother appearance, and a smaller, more concentrated component. The larger component has a yellowish core, which fades into a redder halo. The smaller component also has a yellowish core. The redder hues in the galaxy are likely due to older stellar populations or dust obscuration. There are hints of tidal features. Based on these observations, this galaxy would be classified as a late-stage merger. Further spectroscopic observations are needed to confirm this assessment.
