This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy observed edge-on. A prominent central bulge is visible, exhibiting a smooth, rounded morphology. There is limited visual evidence of ongoing major merging activity or significant tidal disturbances in this image. The disk itself appears relatively smooth, lacking clearly defined spiral arms or distinct features. The galaxy exhibits a subtle color gradient, appearing bluer towards the outer edges of the disk, which could indicate the presence of younger stellar populations in these regions and ongoing low star formation. The redness of the bulge suggests an older stellar population in this region. The lack of dust lanes also supports the evidence of low star formation.
