The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure with a high degree of central concentration. Its overall color appears to be a slightly bluer-white, suggestive of a population of younger, hotter stars, although redder components seem to be present. The morphology is predominantly smooth, with only very subtle hints of spiral structure or features. Its shape is cigar shaped, and is generally undisturbed. It is approximately 2.8 kpc in radius. The galaxy is relatively compact and shows a faint outer halo or envelope of diffuse light. There is no clear evidence of a major merger event. The slight bluer tint suggests ongoing or recent star formation activity, but at a relatively moderate level.
