The galaxy appears to be an interacting system, comprised of three distinct components. Two of these components are larger and brighter, exhibiting an elliptical morphology with a smooth light distribution. Their color suggests an older stellar population. The third component is smaller and fainter. All three objects appear to be in the process of merging, with tidal distortions visible between the two largest components. The overall system is somewhat irregular in shape, suggesting a dynamically disturbed state. A small amount of tidal debris may also be present. There is no apparent spiral arm structure or dust lanes visible within the system.
