The galaxy appears to be in the process of a major merger. The morphology suggests at least two distinct galactic nuclei are present, one brighter and more yellow than the other. There is evidence of tidal interactions, with distortions in the overall shape and a disturbed morphology. A slight arm like structure is visible on the left side of the larger galaxy. The galaxy displays a relatively smooth overall light distribution, aside from the dual core system, with a noticeable concentration of light towards the central regions. The overall color suggests a moderate amount of star formation occurring, with a presence of older stellar populations contributing to the yellow and red light. The galaxy is not perfectly round but is relatively elliptical in shape.
