The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, although the spiral arms are not sharply defined. It exhibits a central bulge, which appears yellowish or reddish, indicating an older stellar population. There is a disk component that is bluer in color, suggesting ongoing star formation. The galaxy is not perfectly symmetrical and may be interacting or have undergone a past interaction, as indicated by the minor disturbance to its morphology. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger. Its estimated size is a little over 8 kpc in radius, making it a relatively small galaxy compared to the Milky Way. The galaxy has a rate of star formation slightly higher than 1 solar mass per year and lies at a distance such that its redshift is around z = 0.23. Overall, it looks to be a fairly typical galaxy observed at this distance.
