The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging with another galaxy. The primary galaxy presents a relatively smooth, rounded morphology. There are no distinct spiral arm structures immediately apparent. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge that fades into a more diffuse halo. A secondary, smaller galaxy can be seen to the north of the primary galaxy. This object appears to be undergoing tidal disruption due to interaction with the primary galaxy. There is a distinct yellow/red color gradient, with bluer light emanating from the central core, and more red colors towards the outer edges.
