The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merging event. There is a primary, larger component exhibiting a smooth, elliptical morphology, and a possible second, smaller object in proximity. The larger component displays a concentrated central region with a diffuse halo. It appears to be reddish-orange, suggesting a population of older stars. The suspected secondary object, visually distinct from the primary galaxy, appears to be smaller and bluer. The morphology is disturbed, suggesting gravitational interaction between the two components. There is a low probability that the galaxy is not merging and that the merger is an artifact.
