The galaxy appears as a merging system, showing two distinct luminous components. The larger component appears fairly round, with a smooth, concentrated light profile suggestive of an elliptical galaxy or the bulge of a spiral. The light is predominantly yellow-white in color, indicating an older stellar population. There is a smaller, more diffuse component located close to the first object, and may indicate it is experiencing a minor disturbance. This second component is more blue-white in color, indicating ongoing or recent star formation. The overall morphology indicates a significant ongoing or recent interaction between two galaxies, with a substantial amount of the system's light concentrated in the larger, more evolved component. The system appears relatively compact, with no extended tidal features immediately apparent.
