The galaxy presents as a lenticular or edge-on spiral galaxy with a smooth, centrally concentrated bulge that exhibits a notable red-shift, which indicates it is relatively distant. Its overall form is elongated and cigar-shaped and is predominantly smooth in appearance, lacking the obvious presence of spiral arms. Subtle color variations are apparent, transitioning from a slightly bluer hue in the outer regions to a more yellow-red central bulge. There are hints of potential minor disturbances or interactions. The overall smoothness suggests a later-type galaxy with diminished current star formation activity and an increasing prevalence of an older stellar population.
