This galaxy presents as a merging system, with two distinct luminous components exhibiting signs of gravitational interaction. One component appears brighter and more compact, with a yellowish hue, potentially indicating an older stellar population and/or dust obscuration. The second component is less concentrated, displaying a bluer color, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars. Tidal features, such as faint streams or extended halos, are not readily apparent, however the overall shape of the object is distorted, characteristic of a merging system. The lack of strong spiral arm structures and the relatively smooth appearance of the brighter component hints at a possible transition from spiral to elliptical morphology as the merger progresses. Star formation appears to be suppressed overall, and a significant portion of the galaxy is relatively smooth.
