The galaxy appears as a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, with a smooth, centrally concentrated bulge. Its overall shape is elongated, displaying an approximate cigar shape, indicating that it is an elliptical galaxy seen from an angle, or potentially a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or active star formation regions. The galaxy is not undergoing any major merging events, with possibly some minor disturbances. The galaxy emits light that suggests it has been forming stars at a low rate. The colors suggest an older stellar population, consistent with a galaxy where star formation activity has diminished.
