The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, lenticular or early-type spiral structure. A bright central bulge is apparent, suggesting a concentration of older stars. Moving outward from the bulge, the galaxy appears as a disk galaxy that is relatively featureless. The bluer color in the outer disk suggests some level of ongoing, though likely low, star formation. There is a subtle distortion in the disk shape, indicating it may have experienced a minor gravitational interaction in the past, or be in the process of merging with a dwarf galaxy. There is no obvious sign of spiral arm structure. The galaxy has no prominent dust lanes or structures. Overall, the galaxy presents as a mature system with a relatively low rate of star formation.
