The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, but with a significant smooth bulge component. The bulge is characterized by a relatively uniform, yellow-white luminosity profile, suggesting an older stellar population. Evidence of spiral arms is present, but somewhat diffuse and not sharply defined. The disk component exhibits some patchiness, with subtle variations in color that could indicate regions of ongoing star formation. A faint bar structure is suspected with a moderate-sized bulge. The galaxy shows no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger or significant tidal disturbances, although a faint outer halo of stellar material cannot be ruled out based on this image alone. The galaxy disk is tilted relative to our line of sight, and is neither viewed perfectly face-on, nor perfectly edge-on. There are no apparent knots of high star formation activity, indicating that any current star formation rate is low. Overall, this galaxy displays characteristics of a spiral galaxy that is neither particularly active in terms of star formation nor significantly perturbed by external gravitational interactions.
