The galaxy presents as a likely merger between two galaxies. The primary body of the system appears largely smooth in texture, elliptical in shape, and exhibits a dominant red-yellow hue. This suggests an older stellar population, likely with low ongoing star formation. A secondary component, brighter and bluer, is connected by faint bridge. This suggests the interaction is relatively advanced, having already perturbed the morphology of both galaxies. The system displays evidence of tidal disturbance, but lacks pronounced tidal tails or other strong asymmetries typically associated with ongoing major mergers. Some dust lanes or obscuration may exist within the body, but it is largely smooth. Overall, the system appears to be a late-stage interaction, with the potential for eventual settling into a more relaxed elliptical galaxy.
