The galaxy presents a complex morphology, suggestive of a recent or ongoing merger event. The core region exhibits a high concentration of light, appearing relatively smooth and spheroidal, indicative of an elliptical or spheroidal component. However, several distinct, brighter knots or clumps of luminosity are scattered throughout the galaxy's extended halo, possibly representing tidally disrupted dwarf galaxies or star-forming regions triggered by the merger. The overall shape is somewhat irregular, deviating significantly from a perfect elliptical profile. Faint tidal features, possibly stellar streams or debris, are subtly visible, extending outward from the main body, hinting at the disruptive gravitational forces at play. The color distribution suggests a mix of stellar populations, with the central region showing a relatively redder hue, indicative of older stars, while the outer clumps display bluer tints, potentially indicating younger, hotter stars formed as a result of the interaction. Although no prominent spiral arms or a well-defined disk structure are visible, the overall impression is that of a system undergoing significant morphological transformation.
