The galaxy presents as a spiral type, though the spiral arms are somewhat ill-defined and appear flocculent. It is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like shape rather than a perfect circular disk. The central bulge is prominent and appears relatively smooth and bright, indicating a significant population of older stars. The overall color profile suggests a mix of stellar populations; the bulge has a yellowish hue, indicating older stars, while the outer regions show hints of bluer regions, suggesting ongoing star formation, albeit at a moderate rate. There are some indications of minor disturbances in the galactic disk, potentially due to tidal interactions or past minor mergers. Overall, the galaxy exhibits features consistent with a relatively smooth, but slightly disturbed spiral galaxy with an intermediate level of star formation.
