This galaxy appears to be in the process of merging. The primary body of the galaxy has a smooth, somewhat elliptical morphology. There is a distinct, smaller object in close proximity, suggesting an ongoing interaction or recent merger event. Tidal features are not immediately obvious, but subtle distortions in the overall shape hint at gravitational disturbance.

The color profile indicates an older stellar population. The central region exhibits a yellowish hue, possibly indicating a population of evolved stars and a lower rate of current star formation. A secondary concentration shows a distinctly redder color, which could imply a region of dust obscuration or a population of older, redder stars within the merging object. There is some evidence of blue light in faint areas surrounding these areas, possibly suggesting active star formation. The overall luminosity of the galaxy suggests a relatively massive system.
