This galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elongated system with a smooth appearance. It has a notable central bulge that transitions into a flattened disk. The color profile suggests an older stellar population, particularly within the bulge. The disk exhibits a bluer tint, suggestive of more recent or ongoing star formation, although the smoothness suggests that the star formation is more dispersed rather than concentrated in distinct spiral arms. There is no strong evidence of ongoing major mergers or tidal disturbances in this image, but there is the slight possibility of a minor interaction based on slight irregularities on the disk. The galaxy's shape is more cigar-like than round. Overall, this galaxy appears to be an intermediate-mass system with a relatively quiescent star formation rate.
