The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or disturbance, exhibiting non-smooth features. There are structural anomalies, potentially indicative of a merger or tidal disruption. Specifically, the galaxy shows a core region of concentrated light with an extended, irregular halo. The color gradients suggest active star formation, with bluer colors indicating younger stellar populations. There may be a secondary, smaller galaxy nearby, possibly involved in the interaction. Overall the galaxy seems to exhibit signs of an active or recent merger.
