The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger. Two distinct luminous regions are observed, suggesting two galactic cores in close proximity. The larger of the two regions exhibits a smoother, more diffuse morphology, potentially indicating an earlier stage of merging or a greater degree of homogenization of its stellar population. A fainter bluish tinge is observed around both regions, perhaps indicative of recent star formation. There is an apparent tidal tail or bridge of material extending between the two regions, which is also suggestive of strong gravitational interaction between the two galaxies. Based on its red color and generally round shape, the galaxy is likely an elliptical galaxy.
