The galaxy appears to be a merging system of two interacting galaxies. The larger galaxy appears to have a smooth morphology with an elliptical shape and a brighter central region, possibly indicating a bulge. The smaller interacting galaxy shows a less defined structure, possibly indicating a disk shape, with a slightly bluer color, suggestive of younger stellar populations and active star formation. The interaction between the two galaxies appears to be causing tidal disturbances, visible as faint distortions and a possible bridge of material connecting the two galaxies. There is a slight reddish hue present in the more central regions, which might be caused by older stellar populations or dust obscuration. A slight plume can be seen extending outward which supports an active merging event.
