This galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger or interaction. The overall shape is elongated and irregular, with a suggestion of tidal features or distortions in the outer regions. There are two distinct brighter regions, one significantly more luminous and concentrated than the other, which could be the nuclei of the merging galaxies. The color gradient suggests active star formation is present, particularly in the less bright region, indicated by a more prominent blue hue in comparison to the yellow or orange hue of the main body of the galaxy. The main body of the galaxy exhibits a smoother profile, possibly indicating an older stellar population and a more evolved system, with a higher concentration of light toward the center. The fainter regions extending outward seem more diffuse and uneven in color distribution. Dust lanes or other obscuring material are not clearly visible. The galaxy is not a pure elliptical, but it doesn't have a clear disk structure either.
