This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or merger event, presenting a disturbed morphology. The central region exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, possibly indicating an actively forming stellar population. The overall shape deviates considerably from a standard elliptical or spiral form, presenting an elongated profile. Evidence suggests tidal tails or streams are present, extending outwards from the main body. There is an indication of dust lanes or patchy extinction within the central region, possibly associated with ongoing star formation or remnants from the merger event. The galaxy's color gradients suggest a range of stellar ages, with the core exhibiting a relatively yellow hue, potentially indicating older stellar populations, while the outer regions show bluer tints, indicative of younger, hotter stars and/or active star formation. Some regions are particularly bright and distinct, which may signify HII regions.
