NGC 3610 is an
NGC 3610 is a relatively young elliptical galaxy which has not yet lost its disk.
The unusual amount of blue light emission of NGC 3610, or B–V in the UBV photometric system, suggests recent star formation.[9] The current estimated star formation rate is 0.385±0.375 M☉·yr−1.[4] There is a population of younger globular clusters orbiting the galaxy that is a likely product of the merger. The surviving population of older, metal-rich globular clusters suggests that at least one of the progenitor galaxies had a prominent bulge component.[9]
