The galaxy exhibits a merging morphology, presenting as two distinct luminous components in close proximity. One component appears more elliptical and compact, exhibiting a smoother profile with a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The second component is more diffuse, with a bluer color profile, which is indicative of ongoing star formation. There seems to be a tidal bridge connecting the two galaxies. The shape of the galaxy system appears somewhat cigar shaped. A possible minor disturbance is present. Overall, this galaxy system's disturbed morphology and color gradients suggest an ongoing or recent interaction between the two galaxies, potentially triggering episodes of star formation, particularly within the bluer component.
