This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. There are two distinct galactic nuclei visible. One nucleus has a more concentrated, slightly elongated morphology with a yellowish hue. The second nucleus is noticeably redder, which could be indicative of an older stellar population or significant dust obscuration. The surrounding stellar material and gas exhibit a disturbed morphology. The overall color profile of the galaxy shows a range of colors indicating ongoing star formation, but also older populations. A faint tidal feature appears to extend outwards on one side of the galaxy, indicative of gravitational interactions from the merger. The galaxy is relatively compact and is estimated to be rather massive. The rate of star formation appears to be on the higher end for galaxies of this mass.
