The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous object, appearing ellipsoidal in shape with a major axis visibly longer than its minor axis. A central concentration of light is evident, suggesting a bulge component. Upon closer inspection, the morphology suggests a possible galaxy merger in progress or the late stages of one. Two distinct luminous cores are seen, indicating that there are indeed two galaxies present that have not yet fully coalesced. The outer regions of the galaxy appear diffuse and ill-defined, with faint tidal features potentially indicative of gravitational interactions. Color gradients appear subtle, primarily showing a smooth transition from a slightly bluer periphery towards a redder, more yellow central region. This could suggest a relatively passive stellar population within the central bulge, in contrast to potentially younger stars in the outer regions. There appears to be a lack of strong spiral arm structures; the galaxy seems to have evolved away from such a shape.
