The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger, possibly in the later stages. Two distinct, luminous cores are visible, suggesting the presence of two progenitor galaxies. The northern core appears more compact and circular, while the southern core is slightly elongated and less defined. There is a faint tidal bridge or stream of material connecting the two cores, indicating gravitational interaction. The overall color is yellowish-orange, potentially indicating an older stellar population with ongoing star formation. The system exhibits no obvious spiral arms or well-defined disk structure, further supporting the conclusion that this is a merging system with significant morphological disturbance.
