This galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger event. There is a central, relatively smooth and bright structure, possibly a bulge component. To one side, there appears to be a blue-shifted region which may be indicative of recent star formation. The overall shape appears disturbed, rather than a well-defined spiral or elliptical. A tail of light may also be present. The galaxy exhibits a broad range of colors, suggesting a mix of stellar populations. There is a redder, more concentrated area near the center, potentially older stars or dust obscuration. There is also evidence of tidal interactions, further supporting an ongoing or recent merger scenario.
