The galaxy presents as a system undergoing a significant merger. The primary body appears elongated, showing a cigar shape with evident tidal features extending from it. There is a noticeable color gradient within this main component, transitioning from a yellowish hue at one end to bluer tones at the other, potentially indicating varying stellar populations or dust obscuration.

The smaller component of the merger is more compact, showing a slightly bluer color, perhaps hinting at on-going star formation activity. Both interacting galaxies appear relatively smooth, with minimal discernible spiral arm structure. There are signs of disturbances in the overall morphology of both components, a key signature of a merger. 

The luminous output indicates an actively star-forming galaxy that appears to be undergoing a merging process.
