The galaxy appears as a somewhat elliptical, diffuse object, exhibiting a relatively smooth morphology overall. There is a central concentration of light suggesting a bulge, with a surrounding halo of lower surface brightness. The galaxy appears to be undergoing some form of interaction with a smaller object, possibly a dwarf galaxy, that is causing disturbances in the tidal area. The color is yellowish-orange, indicating an older stellar population with little ongoing star formation. There appears to be only a small amount of dust obscuration. Based on these characteristics, this galaxy is likely an elliptical galaxy with signs of a recent merger.
