The large galaxy in the system shows dust lanes running through its main body while the smaller galaxy (the westernmost object), has a curved tidal tail pulled downwards from the object.

[4] It is also a late-stage merger as both east and west nuclei components in the system have a projected separation of 6.7 kiloparsecs.

The source appears as Compton-thin obscurer with an absorption column density of 0.05+0.07-0.04 x 1022 cm−2.

[7] It contains a superficial and broad blueshifted HI absorption interpreted as molecular outflows with a mass rate of 140 MΘ yr−1 suggesting it is driven by a radio jet.

[8] It has a compact radio source appearing structured at 8.44 GHz[9] with a rotating CO ring found nearly-face on but lesser inside an outer disk beyond the galaxy's nuclear ring.
