The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped object. Its light is primarily concentrated in the blue-green wavelengths, suggesting a population of relatively young, hot stars. There appears to be an absence of a distinct bulge or spiral structure. The smoothness of the light distribution and the lack of discernible features indicate a classification towards the smooth end of the spectrum. There are no obvious signs of recent or ongoing major mergers; the overall structure looks relatively undisturbed. The low levels of star formation are likely to be present due to it being a more evolved system.
