The observed galaxy presents as a relatively compact object with an elliptical morphology. There is evidence of a second object nearby, perhaps an interacting companion. The main galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution, suggesting a lack of prominent spiral arms. The central region shows a bluer color compared to the more reddish outer regions. This could indicate a higher concentration of younger, hotter stars in the core. The companion galaxy, in contrast, appears smaller, more elongated and has a uniform red color. It is hard to determine if this is due to dust obscuration or an older stellar population within the companion. The proximity of the two objects raises the possibility of tidal interactions. Given the relative sizes, any merger event would most likely involve the smaller galaxy being tidally disrupted by the larger one. Further spectroscopic analysis would be required to confirm the presence of tidal streams or bridges.
