This galaxy appears to be a merging system, exhibiting signs of interaction. Morphologically, it presents a disturbed structure. There are three distinct, bright central condensations of light suggesting multiple galactic nuclei, possibly in the late stages of a merger. The primary central region appears somewhat smooth, but there are tidal features or tails emanating from it, indicative of gravitational disturbances. There are hints of disrupted spiral arms or irregular extensions surrounding the galaxy, causing a somewhat amorphous overall appearance. The color profile suggests a population of older stars, given the reddish hues, but some regions also show traces of bluer light, possibly signifying ongoing or recent star formation. The galaxy exhibits a moderate degree of dust extinction, with a significant portion of the light being obscured. Overall, this galaxy seems to be a complex system undergoing a significant merger event, showing signs of both old and new stellar populations.
