This galaxy presents as a late-type spiral, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent central bulge exhibits a smooth, rounded morphology, with a concentrated, yellowish color suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter, bluish light is seen along the plane of the disk, suggesting the presence of some younger, hotter stars and on-going star formation. The disk appears relatively smooth, with no readily apparent dust lanes or distinct spiral arm features. The overall luminosity suggests a massive galaxy, likely with a high star formation rate. No signs of a major merger or significant tidal disturbance are seen, although there are some minor disturbances.
