This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction, possibly a merger. The primary component exhibits a relatively smooth, rounded morphology, suggesting an elliptical or lenticular type. However, a distinct region of redder emission is observed nearby, separate from the main body. This could indicate a secondary galaxy involved in the interaction, or a region of intense star formation heavily obscured by dust within the primary galaxy. The overall color profile suggests an older stellar population dominates, with some ongoing or recent star formation indicated by bluer regions within the main component, in addition to the redder region. There is evidence of tidal disturbances or extended features. This could be indicative of late-stage merger activity, with the redder region representing a tidal tail or a disrupted dwarf galaxy falling into the potential of the main object. The relatively compact size points toward a mature system, though the interaction complicates morphological classification.
