The galaxy presents a morphology suggesting an ongoing or recent interaction with another galaxy. The primary body of the galaxy appears largely spheroidal and smooth in structure, exhibiting a concentrated core region that transitions outwards to a fainter, diffuse halo. A secondary, less defined component is observed to the northwest, potentially indicating a smaller galaxy in the process of merging. This secondary component exhibits a bluer color, suggestive of active star formation. There is a tidal tail that is also on the northwest side of the galaxy, furthering the suggestion of a merger event. Overall, the galaxy shows a strong central concentration of older stellar populations, surrounded by evidence of past interactions and potential ongoing star formation activity in the interacting companion.
