The galaxy appears to be an interacting system, possibly in the later stages of a merger. There appears to be three distinct central regions, possibly individual galaxies or concentrations of stars, with diffuse, tidal-like features extending from the central regions. The system appears to be relatively compact. The light from the object is primarily red, but it has some blue indicating some star formation is occurring, although likely at a low rate relative to its mass. The system is relatively smooth, with little evidence of prominent spiral arms or well-defined disks. A small degree of asymmetry can be observed in the outer regions. Based on the image and characteristics, this system is likely on its way to becoming an elliptical galaxy, with a relatively high mass.
