The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its light profile is relatively smooth, showing a gradual decrease in luminosity from the center outwards. There is a suggestion of a central bulge, which is brighter and more concentrated than the surrounding disk. The color of the galaxy is yellowish, indicating an older stellar population. The galaxy displays no clear spiral arm structure. A slight distortion suggests minor gravitational interaction, though a more detailed analysis would be needed to confirm. The apparent lack of significant dust lanes, and the smooth light distribution, point towards a galaxy undergoing relatively low star formation.
