This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or merger event. The primary body exhibits a relatively smooth, though somewhat asymmetrical, morphology, suggesting it might be an elliptical galaxy or a disk galaxy with a prominent bulge. There is evidence of tidal distortion or extended features that could indicate gravitational interaction with another galaxy. The color profile suggests a population of older stars, as indicated by the reddish hues in the galaxy's core and extentions. Blue star forming regions can be seen distributed throughout the galaxy. Some of these regions are particularly prominent and could have resulted from the interaction event. The system has a noticeable overall disturbance to its morphology.
