The galaxy presents a somewhat elliptical morphology, with a dominant central bulge appearing bright and concentrated. The overall color is yellowish, suggesting a population of older stars, however bluer regions can be seen, likely indicating regions of more active star formation. There is evidence of tidal disturbances, and a likely merger in progress. The overall structure is not smoothly distributed; there are concentrations of light on one side of the main body, indicating possible interaction. This is also evident from the fact that its morphology does not appear rounded, but rather, is more oblate. The tidal features present suggest that this galaxy has a high mass and low star formation rate, indicative of an older, more passive system undergoing a significant interaction with a satellite galaxy.
