This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth and elongated structure. The central region exhibits a concentration of light, suggesting a prominent bulge. The colors observed are generally consistent with an aging stellar population, although there might be some traces of younger, bluer stars especially in the disk. The overall morphology indicates a galaxy that is transitioning between elliptical and spiral types, perhaps a lenticular galaxy. There are some disturbances in the outer disk but no major signs of significant tidal interaction or recent merger activity are readily visible. The shape is cigar like. The galaxy is on the smaller side but is still of intermediate mass. It is actively forming stars although at a reduced rate relative to its mass.
