The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merging event or interaction with a smaller companion galaxy. The primary galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-like shape. It exhibits a relatively smooth morphology, though there are indications of disturbances. The light distribution suggests a higher concentration of older stellar populations, with a reddish-orange hue dominating. There is evidence of some bluer, younger stars, particularly around the core. Overall the galaxy is smooth and relatively uniform.
