The galaxy appears to be undergoing a merger or interaction with at least one other galactic component. Evidence for this includes a disturbed morphology with multiple distinct luminous regions. The central region exhibits a generally smooth, elliptical appearance. However, there is a suggestion of tidal features or disturbed spiral arms extending outward, indicative of gravitational interactions. The central body of the galaxy is luminous, exhibiting a slightly reddish hue. There is a distinct, bluer, compact region located in the southern part of the galaxy. A fainter region with redder color is present in the northern area. The color gradient across the galaxy suggests differential stellar populations and ongoing star formation.
