The galaxy appears to be an interacting system, possibly in the late stages of a merger. The morphology is complex, exhibiting an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. There is evidence of tidal features or disturbances, specifically what seems to be material being pulled from the main galactic body. The color gradients suggest a mixture of stellar populations, with the presence of both older, redder stars and younger, bluer stars. The redder component may be concentrated near the center of one of the merging galaxies while bluer components are located within the extended arms of the merger. Star formation seems to be present. The system displays asymmetry, likely due to the gravitational interaction between the merging components.
