The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, disk-like structure. The color profile suggests a mix of stellar populations. The central region exhibits a concentrated, bright core that likely contains older, redder stars. Moving outward from the core, the disk shows a bluer hue, which could be indicative of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation in the spiral arms, though these arms are not clearly defined in the image. The overall shape of the galaxy appears to be somewhat elongated, possibly classified as an elliptical or a spiral seen edge-on. There appears to be a slight disturbance or asymmetry on one side, suggesting a possible gravitational interaction or past merger event, but could also be a faint dust lane.
