The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-like morphology. It exhibits a smooth overall structure, appearing largely featureless with a high degree of central concentration. The color gradient suggests an aging stellar population in the galactic center, which appears more yellow, transitioning to bluer hues in the outer regions, potentially indicating the presence of younger stars. There is no obvious evidence of recent major mergers or tidal disruptions, although subtle disturbances are not entirely ruled out. Its overall shape suggests a late-type spiral galaxy viewed edge-on, or possibly an elliptical galaxy.
