This galaxy exhibits a generally smooth morphology, though there are some irregularities. Its shape is elongated, with a cigar-like appearance. The galaxy's color distribution suggests a brighter, yellower central region that fades into a bluer hue toward the periphery. A small amount of disturbance is observed with no obvious signs of a major merger. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy with ongoing, yet low, levels of star formation.
