The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger or interaction. There are two distinct, somewhat amorphous light concentrations that seem connected. The overall color is a yellowish white, with a hint of blue in one of the concentrations, suggesting the presence of some younger stars. There are no clear spiral arms or a well-defined disk structure visible; the light distribution is relatively smooth. The object appears fairly compact given its brightness, with an estimated size of roughly 4 kpc across. The lack of obvious dust lanes or complex structures could imply a relatively late stage merger. A large fraction of the light is concentrated in the central region, possibly indicating an older stellar population. The object has an estimated redshift of approximately 0.2, putting it at a substantial distance. I observe hints of some ongoing or recent star formation, likely triggered by the interaction.
