This galaxy appears to be an interacting system, possibly in the early stages of a merger. There are two distinct luminous components evident. The primary component is larger and presents a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution, suggesting an older stellar population. The color gradient indicates a centrally blue region, transitioning to more red as you go to the edge, potentially indicative of on going star formation in the center region.

The secondary component is smaller and similarly shows a centrally concentrated morphology. Evident distortions in their morphology are present, possibly due to gravitational interactions. A bridge of light is faintly visible between the two components, further supporting the interpretation of an ongoing interaction. There is no obvious central nucleus visible in either galaxy, however, there is an absence of spiral arms, which could indicate an elliptical system.
