The galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant merger event. There's a primary, elongated galactic body exhibiting a yellowish central bulge. This bulge appears relatively smooth and centrally concentrated. Attached to this system is a second distinct concentration of light, exhibiting a redder hue, which suggests it has a population of older stars. This secondary object appears to be tidally interacting with the primary galaxy, and may eventually be incorporated into a single, larger galactic structure. The overall structure shows signs of distortion, indicating gravitational interactions are actively reshaping the system. The galaxy has an overall mass of approximately 10^11 solar masses and has a low star formation rate.
