The galaxy presents as a system undergoing a significant merger event, likely past the initial collision phase. A primary, roughly elliptical component is evident, exhibiting a concentrated, yellowish core indicative of an older stellar population. The overall morphology of this component is somewhat disrupted. Evident to one side of the galaxy is a fainter, bluish component. The color suggests more recent or ongoing star formation. There are no clear spiral arm structures or well-defined disk-like features visible in the image, further supporting the classification of an interacting system rather than a well-formed spiral or elliptical galaxy. The merging event appears to be influencing the star formation rate within at least one of the galactic components.
