The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, elongated morphology. It is observed close to edge-on. There is a bright central bulge with a diffuse, extended halo. There is evidence of a disk structure, although features are subtle. The galaxy shows a slight blue tint, suggesting some ongoing star formation, however this is only observed in a diffuse manner. The lack of prominent spiral arms indicates that the star formation rate is relatively low. There are no signs of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in the immediate vicinity of the galaxy. The overall form suggests a mature system with a significant fraction of its stellar population in older stars. The shape deviates from a perfect ellipse, leaning more towards a cigar shape.
