The galaxy presents an elongated morphology, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped. Its light distribution suggests a central bulge that is not very prominent. The overall color appears bluish, implying the presence of younger, hotter stars. The galaxy does not exhibit a well-defined spiral structure or prominent dust lanes, but there may be subtle, disturbed features or a disk-like component present. Based on the appearance, there is an indication of possible recent or ongoing interactions. The overall smoothness suggests a significant fraction of older stars, but the blue color indicates a non-negligible amount of recent star formation is also occurring. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger, but subtle disturbances may be present.
