The galaxy appears to be a system of two interacting galaxies, exhibiting signs of a potential merger in progress. The larger galaxy presents a relatively smooth, elliptical morphology with a bright, concentrated core, suggesting a significant population of older stars and potentially a supermassive black hole actively accreting matter. A faint, diffuse halo surrounds the core. The smaller galaxy, located adjacent to the larger one, shows a less defined structure, appearing more compact. There's evidence of tidal distortion in both galaxies. A "bridge" of material is visible between the two, indicating gravitational interaction and mass transfer. The overall color suggests ongoing star formation, particularly in the less defined galaxy. The shape of the brighter galaxy appears distorted and more elongated than a regular elliptical, indicating gravitational interactions.
