The galaxy appears to be in the process of a significant merger event.  Two distinct nuclei are visible, one with a more diffuse, reddish-orange glow, and the other exhibiting a tighter, greenish-white appearance.  There is evidence of tidal distortion.  The overall shape of the system is irregular. A faint stream of material extends from one of the nuclei, suggesting gravitational interaction and disruption. The system exhibits both smooth components and features indicative of ongoing star formation.  The color gradient within the galaxy suggests varying stellar populations, possibly resulting from the merger. The galaxy is relatively compact with no clear spiral arm structure.
