This galaxy presents as an edge-on disk galaxy. A prominent, centralized bulge dominates the core region, appearing yellowish, potentially indicative of an older stellar population. The disk itself is elongated and thin, with a slight warp and color gradient; from the central bulge, it seems to transition to a bluer hue towards the outer edges, suggesting the presence of younger, bluer stars. Faint dust lanes appear to be present across the face of the disk, partially obscuring the starlight. There is no obvious evidence of strong tidal interactions or a significant merger event. The spiral arms are tightly wound and difficult to resolve from this angle. Overall, this galaxy exhibits characteristics consistent with a relatively undisturbed, late-type spiral galaxy seen edge-on.
