The galaxy appears to be in the late stages of a major merger with another galaxy, or may even be composed of multiple interacting galaxies. One of the interacting galaxies appears to be a spiral galaxy. The galaxy has a red shift, indicating it is moving away from us at a relatively high speed. Overall, the shape of the galaxy is intermediate between round and elongated. It has disk-like features. The star formation rate is low, indicating it is older. The combined absolute magnitude is indicative of a luminous galaxy.
