The galaxy appears to be a merging system comprised of what were likely once distinct galaxies. The overall morphology is disturbed, lacking a clear spiral arm structure or elliptical profile. There appears to be a larger component which may have a smooth bulge. One of the merging components has a more diffuse, irregular appearance, possibly indicating ongoing tidal disruption. Star formation is low, with minimal blue emission. The system exhibits a redder color overall, indicative of an older stellar population. The shape is generally elliptical, but with some irregular extensions.
