The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger. Two distinct luminous components are visible, suggestive of two galactic nuclei in close proximity. The primary nucleus exhibits a more spherical morphology, while the secondary nucleus is slightly more diffuse and elongated. There's a bridge of light and material connecting the two nuclei, indicating gravitational interaction. The overall color suggests an older stellar population, with yellow hues dominating. There is a limited presence of blue light, suggesting low levels of ongoing star formation. The galaxy appears relatively smooth, with minimal evidence of spiral arms or prominent dust lanes, beyond the disturbance caused by the merging galaxies.
