This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy with a redshift of approximately 0.158. It is oriented roughly edge-on relative to our line of sight. A prominent central bulge is visible, dominating the galaxy's core. A bar is present within the bulge region. Spiral arms can be seen extending outward from the central region, although the disk's near edge-on orientation makes them appear somewhat flattened. There is some evidence of tidal disturbance, perhaps related to a merger. Star formation seems present within the galaxy, although difficult to ascertain.
