This galaxy exhibits a disturbed morphology, indicative of an ongoing or recent merger event. The main body of the galaxy appears elongated and irregular, not displaying the typical symmetrical structure of undisturbed spiral or elliptical galaxies. Faint tidal features can be seen extending from the main body, suggesting gravitational interaction with another galaxy. The color gradients across the galaxy show a concentration of older stellar populations in the core, indicated by the redder hues, while patches of bluer light suggest areas of more recent star formation. Overall, the galaxy appears to be in a state of dynamic evolution, likely driven by the merger process, influencing its morphology and star formation activity.
