This galaxy presents as an elongated, somewhat cigar-shaped structure. Its light profile appears relatively smooth across the body of the galaxy, lacking strong evidence of spiral arms or distinct substructure. There is an indication of slight blueness in parts of the galaxy. This blueness could suggest areas of ongoing star formation. The galaxy’s overall shape is suggestive of either an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. While the smooth light profile favors an elliptical classification, the subtle blueness hints towards the possibility of it being a lenticular galaxy with some residual star formation activity. A possible tidal feature or merger remnant might be present, given the distorted nature of the galaxy's shape. This distortion could be indicative of past or ongoing interactions with another galaxy. A brighter core is noticeable, potentially signifying a concentration of stars or, perhaps, an active galactic nucleus.
