The galaxy appears as an elongated, somewhat cigar-shaped structure. The central region exhibits a concentrated luminosity, suggesting a significant population of stars and possibly a central bulge. The color profile shows a slightly redder hue in the central regions, transitioning to bluer tones towards the outer edges of the galactic disk. This color gradient could indicate ongoing star formation in the outer regions, while the core consists of an older stellar population. The galaxy presents a relatively smooth appearance, with limited evidence of distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. There are subtle irregularities in the disk, but no obvious signs of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances are readily apparent. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively undisturbed system with a mix of stellar populations and potentially ongoing star formation.
