The galaxy presents a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. A central, bright bulge is visible, exhibiting a smooth texture, which is surrounded by a more diffuse disk. The disk seems to be relatively featureless, lacking prominent spiral arm structures. There is some unevenness to the disk color suggesting possible subtle dust lanes and regions of active star formation are present. The red shift of 0.051 suggests this is a relatively distant galaxy with a mass estimate around 10^10 solar masses. The low star formation rate also hints at a galaxy that is past its peak star forming activity.
