The galaxy appears to be an elongated, lenticular-like system. The light profile is generally smooth, indicating a relatively old stellar population. The colors are dominantly blue-white, with some yellow and orange components. The bluer regions seem to be slightly more concentrated toward the center. Given the lack of strong spiral arm features, the galaxy is classified as an early-type disk galaxy. The shape is notably cigar-like, with the ratio of the major to minor axis appearing to be approximately 3:1. There is little evidence of significant dust lanes or patches in the visible spectrum. Given the smooth appearance and the colors present, the galaxy is likely quiescent with low star formation. Very subtle asymmetries at the ends of the galaxy may hint at minor tidal interactions. The overall morphology suggests a system that has undergone substantial evolution, possibly involving a merger event in the distant past.
