The galaxy appears to be a interacting system. A relatively smooth, elliptical or lenticular galaxy is exhibiting tidal interactions with a smaller, elongated, and likely disc-shaped galaxy. The larger galaxy displays a smooth, centrally concentrated light profile, suggesting an older stellar population. It exhibits a yellowish-white color. The smaller galaxy, in contrast, exhibits a blue tinge, and seems less uniform. It appears to be more extended, potentially a spiral or irregular galaxy, with visible redder knots or regions possibly indicating areas of ongoing star formation. There seems to be a tidal bridge connecting the two systems. The general shape and light profile suggests it has a stellar mass consistent with a fairly large galaxy. The smaller companion shows evidence of a lower mass and actively forming stars.
