This galaxy presents an interesting morphological profile. A significant portion of the light appears relatively smooth, suggesting a spheroid component. However, there is also clear evidence of disk-like features and asymmetries within the system. The color gradients observed across the galaxy are notable, with a redder, potentially older stellar population concentrated towards one region, while bluer hues indicate regions of more active star formation in the other part. This could be indicative of a recent or ongoing minor merger or tidal interaction. The overall structure suggests a system that may be dynamically disturbed, though the exact nature of the interaction remains somewhat unclear from this image alone. A non-negligible amount of artifact contamination is present as well. More detailed spectroscopic and multi-wavelength observations would be beneficial to further characterize its composition and evolutionary state.
