The galaxy appears elongated, with a cigar-like shape. One end presents a brighter, more concentrated region which may represent a galactic bulge or active galactic nucleus. The overall color gradient suggests a presence of older stellar populations, particularly in the brighter region, with a possible shift towards younger stars in the fainter section. There appears to be a smooth structure with little to no noticeable spiral arms, thus it seems like a relatively passive galaxy. Slight irregularities are visible in the halo. This could indicate minor disturbances or tidal interactions.
