The galaxy exhibits a complex morphology, appearing to be in the late stages of a merger. One core exhibits a smoother profile, while the other appears more disturbed. A tidal tail is quite prominent, extending linearly from the main body of the galaxy. The overall color of the galaxy is yellowish-white, with a slight bluing in the disturbed core, and in sections of the tidal tail. This bluing may indicate recent star formation in those regions. The shape of the main body is somewhat elongated. The luminosity distribution is concentrated toward the merging cores, decreasing gradually toward the outer regions. A significant portion of the galaxy's light is found within the tidal tail, suggesting it is rich in stars. A high level of disturbance throughout the galaxy indicates a recent or ongoing interaction.
