This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy observed at a high inclination, nearing edge-on orientation. The central bulge is prominent, exhibiting a concentrated luminosity. Emanating from the central region is a diffuse disk extending outwards. Within this disk there are dark bands of obscuration, that could be interpreted as dust lanes. The color gradients suggest ongoing star formation, with bluer regions indicating younger stellar populations. The overall structure shows no strong signs of a major ongoing merger event but the asymmetry in the disk might suggest minor tidal interactions, such as a minor disturbance. This galaxy has a smooth central region.
