This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, although its inclination obscures a full face-on view. The morphology seems elongated, almost cigar-shaped. The central bulge exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, while the disk shows a relatively smooth texture with hints of faint spiral arm structure. There is no obvious active galactic nuclei present in the image. The galaxy does not exhibit any signs of a major merger but a minor disturbance of the disk is possible. The color gradients across the galaxy suggest a mixture of stellar populations, with the central bulge perhaps hosting older, redder stars, while the disk components may contain younger, bluer stars.
