The galaxy presents as an interacting system. There are two distinct nuclei or regions of high stellar density. One appears brighter and bluer, indicative of younger stellar populations and active star formation. The other is dimmer, and presents with a redder hue suggestive of older stellar populations. A tidal tail or bridge is visible, linking the two interacting components, indicating gravitational interaction and mass transfer between the galaxies. The overall morphology indicates a significant degree of disturbance, likely resulting from the ongoing merger event. The system does not present a smooth, elliptical profile, but shows a more disturbed shape, suggestive of a post-merger system.
