The galaxy presents as a disturbed system, likely undergoing a merger or interaction with another galaxy. There is a main body that is smooth, with a very slight elongation in the shape. The color is a mix of blue and white light, indicating moderate recent star formation in the galaxy. There is a fainter part to this object, connected to one side of the galaxy, which could be either a tidal tail from a merger event or a disk disrupted by an interaction. A close inspection reveals a general color gradient from blue to red, indicating a non-uniform distribution of stellar populations, possibly tied to differential star formation. Overall, this galaxy is neither purely elliptical nor a well-defined spiral, but somewhere in between, undergoing a dynamic transition.
