[3] Observations of the centre of the galaxy by Hubble Space Telescope did not reveal the presence of dust or disk features.

[4] In the centre of the galaxy is believed to exist a supermassive black hole whose mass is estimated to be about 600 million (108.79) M☉ based on the stellar tidal disruption rate.

They share a common envelope,[6] however, despite their close position, no tidal features like tails or bridges have been observed.

[7] A stellar bridge has been detected between the galaxy pair and NGC 541,[8] which lies 4.5 arcminutes to the southwest (projected distance circa 100 kpc).

[9] Observations of the galaxy by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory revealed sharp surface brightness edges on the northeastern part of the galaxy and an extended tail in the soft band.
