The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. The morphology is highly disturbed, exhibiting multiple distinct luminous clumps of material which may correspond to interacting galactic nuclei and/or regions of intense star formation triggered by the collision. There are no apparent spiral arms or a well-defined disk structure. A diffuse halo of material surrounds the primary clumps, suggesting tidal interactions and the stripping of material from the progenitor galaxies. The overall color appears relatively red, potentially indicating a population of older stars and significant dust obscuration from recent star formation. There seems to be intense star formation, though at a relatively low rate.
