The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or edge-on spiral galaxy, with a cigar shape. The light distribution suggests it is dominated by older stellar populations; this is primarily observed by the redder light. It presents a smooth profile that is largely devoid of prominent features, and it has a slightly brighter, diffuse central bulge. There is an indication of minor disturbances, possibly the result of a past interaction or minor merger event. The bluer color at the bottom is a location of active star formation. This region has an intense, compact shape.
