This galaxy exhibits a primarily smooth morphology, with a high degree of elongation. The light distribution suggests a central bulge that is yellowish in color, potentially indicating an older stellar population. The galaxy fades into a bluer hue towards the outer edges. The overall color gradient implies ongoing star formation within the galaxy, particularly in the less concentrated areas. There appears to be no significant tidal disruption or other signs of a major merger event, although there is a slight asymmetry suggesting minor interactions may be occuring. It is primarily cigar shaped. The galaxy is likely a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy viewed edge-on.
