The galaxy appears to be an interacting system, showing signs of a potential merger. There is a central bright region which appears to be the core of the main galaxy, which has a fairly smooth profile. This galaxy is surrounded by disturbed or tidal features. There are what appear to be at least two additional objects that are part of this merger. Some regions show enhanced star formation, with bluer colors, while others show more of the older stellar population, with redder colors. Overall, the galaxy is moderately inclined, with an elliptical shape. There is evidence of significant dust lanes or patchy extinction throughout the galaxy. The system appears to be actively undergoing morphological transformation due to the merger process.
