The galaxy presents as a morphologically complex object with a relatively smooth, yet perturbed structure. The central region is dominated by a bright, yellow-tinged core, suggesting an older stellar population and a relatively low rate of on-going star formation in that region. Faint bluish-white concentrations are observed to the northwest of the core region; these may indicate regions of younger, hotter stars in the galaxy. The overall shape appears to be in between rounded and disk-like, but shows evidence of disturbance. The asymmetric appearance and the presence of faint extensions suggest an interaction or merger event may be underway or recently concluded. Overall, the galaxy shows signs of moderate star formation and morphological features indicative of possible tidal interactions.
