The galaxy exhibits characteristics indicative of an ongoing interaction or merger. The overall morphology is disturbed, with an asymmetrical distribution of light. Two distinct, relatively compact, bright cores are visible, suggesting the presence of two galactic nuclei. These cores display a reddish hue. Faint, diffuse material surrounds the cores, extending outwards in an irregular fashion. There is evidence of possible tidal features or streams emanating from the galaxy, though these are faint and difficult to resolve. Star formation is likely occurring in this galaxy, as indicated by a slight blue/green tinge in some regions, but is not particularly dominant in the overall color profile. The system appears to be in a relatively late stage of merging, with the two progenitor galaxies having already approached each other closely.
