This galaxy exhibits a complex morphology, appearing to be in the late stages of a significant merger event. The main body of the galaxy presents a relatively smooth appearance, yet distinct features suggest ongoing tidal interactions. An extended, albeit faint, tidal tail is visible, indicating gravitational disruption. There's a noticeable concentration of older stellar populations in one region, signified by the yellow/orange hue, possibly representing the core of one of the progenitor galaxies. Conversely, a bluer, more diffuse region suggests active star formation, potentially triggered by the merger. The galaxy's overall shape is neither purely elliptical nor a well-defined spiral, implying a transitional morphology resulting from the merger. Evidence of minor disturbances are visible within its structure.
