The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction, likely a merger event with a smaller companion galaxy. The primary galaxy exhibits a distorted morphology, deviating from a typical elliptical or spiral structure. There is a central, bright core with an extended, diffuse halo exhibiting a slightly irregular shape. The light distribution is not uniform, displaying gradients indicative of ongoing gravitational disturbances. A less massive, secondary object is visible close to the primary galaxy, with tidal features possibly connecting it. The main body of the galaxy has hints of bluer star formation regions, particularly in the outer regions, which suggests active star formation possibly triggered by the interaction. Overall, the system presents as a dynamically active environment resulting from a recent or ongoing galactic merger.
