The galaxy presents as a likely ongoing merger event, characterized by two distinct luminous components embedded within a common, albeit disturbed, halo. Both components exhibit an ellipsoidal morphology, with one appearing slightly more elongated than the other. Color gradients are apparent; the central regions of both components display a yellowish hue, suggestive of older stellar populations, while the outer regions show bluer tones, potentially indicating recent star formation activity. There is evidence of tidal distortions, with faint streams or tails extending from the galaxy, particularly along the major axis, further supporting the merger hypothesis. The overall structure suggests a complex dynamical interaction and disturbed morphology, deviating from a typical disk or elliptical system.
