The galaxy exhibits a morphology suggestive of an ongoing or recent interaction/merger. Two distinct components are visible. The primary component appears as a relatively smooth, luminous concentration of light, potentially representing the core of a former elliptical or spiral galaxy. Its color suggests an older stellar population, dominated by redder wavelengths. The secondary component, located to the west of the primary one, is less defined and exhibits a more diffuse structure. There is some evidence of tidal distortion and faint stellar streams connecting these two components, indicating gravitational interaction. The overall shape is irregular, lacking clear spiral arm structure or a defined disk. This supports the hypothesis of a system in the throes of a galactic merger. There may be an active galactic nucleus, or a supermassive black hole, at the galaxy's core.
