The galaxy presents as a single object with a complex, possibly interacting, morphology. Two distinct, luminous cores are visible, suggesting either a binary galactic nucleus or two separate galaxies in the process of merging. The overall shape appears roughly elliptical, with some deviation. There is a tidal bridge and a merging of the stellar and gaseous components. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a reddish hue at the center of the cores to a more greenish-blue tint at the edges. This could indicate a difference in stellar populations, with older, redder stars concentrated in the central regions and younger, bluer stars forming in the outer regions. The galaxy appears relatively smooth, lacking prominent spiral arms or other defined structures beyond the two cores. This suggests a system that has undergone significant dynamical relaxation or is in the later stages of a merger. The presence of tidal features and the ongoing interaction indicate that the galaxy is dynamically active.
