The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging with another galaxy of a similar size. The two galactic cores are still distinct and appear as bright, yellow-orange condensations. There is evidence of tidal interaction between the two galaxies, with faint extensions or distortions visible, but these could be artifacts. The overall morphology is smooth. The primary color of the galaxy is yellow, suggesting an older stellar population with little active star formation. The system appears compact, implying a late stage in the merging process.
