The galaxy appears to be in the late stages of a major merger. Two distinct nuclei are visible. The upper nucleus exhibits a redder hue, potentially indicative of an older stellar population or dust obscuration. The lower nucleus is brighter and slightly bluer, suggesting ongoing star formation. The overall shape of the system is irregular and disturbed, lacking a clear disk structure. There is evidence of tidal features. The presence of two nuclei suggests the merging process is not yet complete, and we may be witnessing the formation of a single elliptical galaxy. The relatively compact size suggests this is a smaller, lower mass galaxy undergoing this merger.
