The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging. Two distinct bright, smooth components are visible, with a slightly distorted morphology overall. The color suggests a relatively evolved stellar population, dominated by older, redder stars, although some bluer regions are faintly detectable. There is some evidence of tidal features or disturbances, possibly indicating an interaction with another galaxy. The overall shape is quite rounded, not elongated. The relative brightness implies a substantial stellar mass. Star formation rates appear to be relatively low based on the color and smooth features.
