This galaxy exhibits a morphology suggesting an ongoing merger event. Two distinct, relatively bright concentrations of light are visible, indicating the presence of two galactic nuclei in close proximity. Both nuclei appear somewhat spheroidal, surrounded by a less defined, more diffuse halo of stars and gas. The overall color of the galaxy is yellowish-orange, possibly indicative of an older stellar population. Tidal features such as tails and bridges between the two nuclei are not strongly apparent, but some distortion is observed in the outer regions, supporting the classification as a system undergoing merger. The central portion of the system displays significant concentrations of light, while the outer regions appear fainter and more irregular.
