This galaxy exhibits a disturbed morphology, potentially indicative of a past or ongoing interaction. The main body of the galaxy appears elongated and somewhat cigar-shaped, with a brighter, smoother central region. A distinct, plume-like feature extends from one end of the main body, suggesting tidal forces have stripped material away. There is possible evidence of disk-like features. There appears to be some irregular star formation occurring throughout the galaxy, but is especially prominent in the brighter central region. The overall color of the galaxy suggests a population of both older and younger stars. The galaxy is more luminous at longer wavelengths suggesting it is a red galaxy. Overall, this object seems to be a spiral galaxy in the process of merging with another galaxy.
