This galaxy exhibits characteristics of both a spiral and a potentially merging system. It displays a moderately bright, elongated central bulge that appears yellowish-white, indicative of an older stellar population. Faint, bluish spiral arms emanate from either side of the bulge, suggesting ongoing star formation. The arms are somewhat indistinct and diffuse, lacking a well-defined structure. Evidence suggests a possible minor disturbance or merger event. A bright, compact region lies adjacent to the bulge, potentially representing a satellite galaxy or a region of intense star formation triggered by gravitational interaction. Furthermore, subtle distortions in the overall morphology, particularly the faint outer regions, may also suggest a gravitational interaction with another galaxy. The galaxy presents a relatively smooth appearance overall, although with hints of complexity indicative of ongoing or recent interaction.
