The galaxy is a spiral type, exhibiting a prominent, though somewhat diffuse, disk structure. The spiral arms are loosely wound and present a relatively clear, two-armed structure, extending outwards from a central region. A notable feature is the presence of a bar-like structure that is seen across the center of the galaxy, and appears to be a prominent, yet somewhat wide formation. The galactic bulge is comparatively small to non-existent, with the light distribution dominated by the disk. Patches of bluer light within the spiral arms suggest regions of active star formation. There are no indications of significant tidal disturbances or a major ongoing merger event, although there may be some indication of a minor interaction.
