This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, appearing as a flattened, elongated structure. A prominent, yellowish bulge dominates the center. This central region likely contains older stellar populations. The disk appears relatively smooth, suggesting a lack of prominent spiral arms. A smaller, fainter, and less defined object is visible nearby, possibly a dwarf galaxy in the process of merging, or undergoing tidal stripping, based on it's irregular, diffuse shape. The primary galaxy demonstrates a high degree of inclination relative to our line of sight. The overall color of the disk appears somewhat redder than the central bulge, potentially indicating ongoing star formation within dusty regions of the disk. The galaxy exhibits a moderate estimated mass, and a moderate rate of star formation. Based on the edge-on view, a boxy bulge shape cannot be determined definitively, but it is possible, though the bulge could also be rounded. The morphology overall is suggestive of a relatively evolved spiral galaxy experiencing some level of interaction.
