This galaxy, at a redshift of approximately 0.097, exhibits a notable bimodal structure. A dominant, bright, and relatively compact component displays a blue hue, suggestive of active star formation. This region appears somewhat spherical in projection. Separated from this region is a fainter, more elongated feature with a redder color profile. The redder color suggests a population of older stars. Given the overall morphology, one possible interpretation is that we are observing a galaxy undergoing a minor merger, where one of the components is dominated by older stellar populations and the other by active star formation. Alternatively, this could be a single galaxy experiencing a tidal disruption event. The galaxy has an estimated size of about 3 kpc across. Overall, the galaxy appears to be in a dynamic state.
