This galaxy, observed at a redshift of approximately 0.2, displays a complex morphology suggestive of an ongoing or recent merger event. The central region presents a concentrated, luminous core, exhibiting a yellow-orange hue, indicating an older stellar population and potentially significant dust obscuration. Extending outwards, the galaxy shows disturbed features, with asymmetric, fainter regions of bluish light. The overall shape appears irregular, lacking a well-defined spiral or elliptical structure. Patches of bluer light may indicate regions of active star formation. There is an obvious area of disturbance indicating that it is likely undergoing a merger or a tidal event. The galaxy's appearance is consistent with a system experiencing gravitational interactions, which are triggering star formation activity.
