The galaxy appears to be undergoing a major merging event. Two distinct galactic nuclei are visible, suggesting the collision of two galaxies of potentially similar mass. The larger of the two nuclei displays a smoother, more diffuse halo of stars, while the smaller nucleus exhibits a more concentrated and defined structure. The overall color of the system leans towards redder wavelengths, suggesting a population of older stars and a potentially lower rate of ongoing star formation within the central regions. The morphology displays significant disturbance indicating a late stage in the merger where tidal forces are strongly influencing the overall shape. There is a general lack of defined spiral arm structures or dust lanes implying that any pre-existing disk structures may have been disrupted by the interaction. The system is dominated by a smooth profile, indicating a relatively uniform distribution of light, consistent with an older stellar population.
