The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging, exhibiting a disturbed morphology. One component presents as relatively smooth and elliptical, characterized by a concentrated central bulge and a diminishing luminosity gradient outwards. Its color appears yellowish-white, indicative of an older stellar population. A second, less-defined component is situated to the right of the main body. It appears more diffuse and shows hints of bluer colors, suggesting ongoing star formation. There are hints of tidal features or distortions around the galaxy, perhaps faint streams or bridges of stellar material connecting the two components, which are indicative of the gravitational interaction. Overall, the galaxy's appearance is consistent with a system undergoing a merger, displaying characteristics of both elliptical-like and potentially spiral-like galaxies in their respective components.
