The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merging event. Two distinct nuclei are visible, one exhibiting a more diffuse, less concentrated light profile than the other. The system displays an overall irregular morphology, with evidence of tidal disturbances. The primary body of the galaxy has a generally elliptical shape, but that shape is heavily disrupted by this merging. There is some blueish tint to parts of the galaxy, suggesting some small amount of on-going star formation, although there is a large amount of red-shift light. The mass is very large, likely corresponding to a population of older stars. The merger appears to be in a relatively late stage, given the proximity of the nuclei.
