The galaxy appears as a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped structure. There is a slight central bulge that is not particularly prominent. The overall color is a relatively uniform yellowish-orange, suggesting a population of older stars. No distinct spiral arm structure is apparent. There may be some minor signs of gravitational disturbance, although a major merger is not evident. Based on the overall characteristics, the galaxy likely exhibits a low to moderate rate of star formation. The object is relatively smooth in appearance, with no sharp features or distinct knots of star formation readily apparent.
