The galaxy appears to be in a late-stage merger, with two distinct components evident. The larger component presents a relatively smooth, elliptical morphology, suggesting an older stellar population with less active star formation. Its central region is notably bright and concentrated. The smaller component displays a more irregular, elongated shape, with a bluish tinge indicative of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. This secondary component appears to be interacting gravitationally with the primary galaxy, potentially being tidally disrupted. There may be a tidal tail or bridge of material connecting the two galactic cores, though it appears faint and ill-defined. The overall color profile indicates a mix of stellar ages, with the central bulge tending toward redder wavelengths and the merging component exhibiting bluer wavelengths.
