This galaxy exhibits a flattened, elliptical morphology, with a noticeable elongation suggesting a cigar-like shape. A central bulge appears prominent, exhibiting a reddish hue which may indicate an older stellar population. Fainter, bluer light surrounds the bulge, extending along the major axis of the galaxy. This light could be from younger stars forming in a disk-like structure. There is little to no apparent spiral structure. The smooth appearance overall suggests that it is not currently undergoing a major merger, but a mild tidal disruption cannot be ruled out. The color profile implies recent or ongoing, low-level star formation.
