This galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger or interaction. There are two distinct, luminous cores visible, suggesting either two galaxies in the process of merging or a single galaxy with a disturbed morphology. The overall shape is irregular, with tidal features potentially present but not clearly discernible due to image resolution. The color appears generally yellowish, possibly indicating an older stellar population and/or dust obscuration. There is evidence of some bluer regions, hinting at ongoing star formation, although the overall star formation rate appears to be low. The system exhibits an extended halo or envelope of diffuse light surrounding the brighter central regions. It is difficult to precisely classify the type of galaxies involved in the interaction from this image alone, but the relatively smooth appearance suggests that at least one of the galaxies is likely an elliptical or lenticular type. Evidence of recent mergers/disturbances may point toward a recent major interaction that would classify the galaxies involved as currently merging systems rather than isolated ellipticals.
