This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction with a smaller companion galaxy. The primary galaxy presents a somewhat elliptical morphology, with a concentrated central bulge region that emits strongly in the observed wavelengths, suggesting an older stellar population or significant dust obscuration within that area. A plume of material extends from the main galaxy toward the apparent companion, indicating tidal forces are actively disrupting the galactic structure. The companion galaxy is smaller and less defined, appearing as a more amorphous and compact luminous region. The system displays possible features indicative of a merging event, though the morphology also suggests the interaction may still be in its early stages. Overall, the observed colors indicate a mix of stellar populations, though a relatively redder color suggests a substantial population of older stars or significant amounts of dust.
