This galaxy appears as an elongated, disk-shaped structure oriented nearly edge-on with respect to our line of sight. A prominent central bulge dominates the core region, exhibiting a smooth, concentrated luminosity profile. The disk component appears truncated. The bulge appears slightly boxy. Faint, diffuse light extends outwards from the central bulge, tracing the spiral arms. There appears to be a faint tidal feature or merger remnant to the side of the galaxy. Color gradients suggest a redder, older stellar population concentrated in the bulge. Evidence of dust lanes or active star formation regions within the disk is not apparent. The overall morphology suggests a relatively quiescent galaxy.
