This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. The central bulge is prominent and ellipsoidal in shape, appearing a yellow-white hue. This color suggests an older stellar population, with fewer hot, young stars. A faint disk is visible, extending outwards from the bulge. The high inclination angle makes it difficult to discern any spiral arm structure. Some dust lane obscuration seems likely given the edge on orientation, but it is difficult to resolve at this distance. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merging events or tidal disturbances. It is a relatively compact system given it's luminosity. Some star formation is apparent, but is likely not high.
