This galaxy appears to be a relatively compact system with a discernible elongated shape. One end presents a brighter, more concentrated luminosity, suggestive of a dense central region or bulge. Emanating from this central concentration is an extended, fainter structure. The light in this fainter end is more blue, while the main body has a more yellow hue. The overall shape is somewhat irregular, with hints of tidal features or disturbances possibly indicating past interactions or merger events. The light distribution suggests a smooth stellar population, but the apparent disturbances indicate past or current mergers. The galaxy does not appear to be a late stage merger, but rather is in the initial stages of disturbance. This is also evidenced by the blue region that may have started a star forming region due to the merging event.
