The galaxy presents with a complex morphology suggestive of an ongoing merger. The primary body exhibits a disk-like structure, though somewhat disturbed, with indications of spiral arms. A bright, moderately sized bulge is discernible within the main disk. The overall color of the galaxy is relatively uniform with some regions of subtle color variation within the disk, suggestive of differing stellar populations. A distinct tidal feature extends away from the main galactic body. This feature displays a bluer hue in contrast to the yellower hue of the main galaxy, suggesting it has a higher population of young, massive stars and active star formation. Evidence of a potential bar structure is not easily discerned. The galaxy displays no obvious strong dust lanes. The merging activity is causing a disruption to the galaxy’s overall shape, deviating from a regular spiral or elliptical form.
