The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. It exhibits a distinct cigar shape, suggesting it may be an elliptical galaxy viewed at an angle or a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. The galaxy's central bulge appears bright and concentrated, with a yellow-red hue, indicative of an older stellar population. The outer regions show a gradual decrease in luminosity and a slightly bluer color, possibly indicating the presence of some younger stars or ongoing star formation, albeit at a low rate. There is no strong evidence of significant spiral arm structure or tidal disturbances, which suggests the galaxy has not recently undergone a major merger. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a massive system with a significant proportion of its stellar mass locked up in older stars, and only mild levels of star formation activity.
