This galaxy appears to be undergoing a merging event. There are two distinct, luminous components. The larger component exhibits a smooth, elliptical morphology, suggesting a spheroidal stellar population. The smaller component is less defined, its shape more irregular. There are subtle signs of tidal interactions between the two galaxies, with faint, extended features that suggest gravitational disturbance. The galaxy exhibits a primarily red/yellow color profile. The smooth morphology and redder colors are indicative of an older stellar population and a relatively low star formation rate within the main body of the galaxy.
