This galaxy appears to be part of a merging system. Two primary components are visible, suggesting ongoing gravitational interaction. The larger component shows a somewhat smooth, elliptical morphology with a concentrated central bulge. Its color is generally yellowish, indicating an older stellar population and reduced ongoing star formation. The smaller component also appears elliptical, though less defined and slightly more elongated. There is evidence of tidal distortions between the two galaxies with faint extensions that suggests the two galaxies are interacting. It is difficult to resolve detailed features, but the overall impression is of a system undergoing a relatively advanced stage of merging, tending towards a spheroidal structure. The merger appears to be complex with faint features such as the small object to the south of the primary objects.
