The galaxy appears to be in the late stages of a major merger. Two distinct, bright, yellowish-orange central cores are visible. These cores likely represent the nuclei of the two progenitor galaxies. There is evidence of tidal disruption, as streams of diffuse material extend outwards from the central regions, though the resolution limits detailed analysis of these structures. The overall morphology is somewhat amorphous with no clear spiral arm structure. The system is dominated by older stellar populations, indicated by the redder overall color, with minimal evidence of ongoing, significant star formation.
