The galaxy presents as a relatively small, elongated system with a smooth appearance. Its central region exhibits a brighter, more concentrated light profile, suggesting a possible bulge component. The overall color appears to be slightly blueish, which could indicate the presence of a younger stellar population. There are no distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes visible in this image, lending support to the classification as a smooth galaxy. The aspect ratio implies that it is either an elliptical galaxy of type E6/E7, or a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. There is no evidence of any recent major merger events or tidal disturbances.
