The galaxy presents as a somewhat diffuse object with a central, brighter core. The overall form appears disturbed, possibly indicating an ongoing or recent interaction. There may be two primary concentrations of luminosity within the galaxy, suggesting a merging system or a disk galaxy with a prominent bulge and bar-like structure. The light is generally blue shifted, which might imply a population of relatively young stars. The outer regions show a fainter, more extended halo. The galaxy displays asymmetry, further reinforcing the hypothesis of gravitational interaction.
