The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy undergoing a merger event. The overall structure is largely smooth and centrally concentrated, with a high degree of roundness. There is evidence of a smaller, secondary nucleus or concentrated region of light offset from the primary center. The primary body displays a yellowish-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population, whereas the secondary source is slightly more blue-shifted suggesting younger population of stars. The color distribution suggests a relatively low rate of on-going star formation throughout the galaxy as a whole. The fainter outer regions show some signs of tidal disturbance, possibly indicating interaction with the second galaxy. Overall the color suggests this is a massive object. The merging event appears to be relatively advanced, given the proximity of the two centers of light.
