This galaxy exhibits an elongated, cigar-like morphology. The light distribution suggests a relatively smooth profile, although some irregularities are present. A prominent bulge component is visible, characterized by a yellowish-orange hue, potentially indicating an older stellar population. The outer regions appear bluer, hinting at the presence of younger stars or ongoing star formation in the disk. There is evidence of tidal interactions or a possible merger event due to the asymmetric shape and subtle distortions observed in the outer arms. The galaxy is reasonably massive, implying a substantial stellar mass. The relatively low specific star formation rate suggests that star formation activity is not exceptionally high, but is still proceeding at a moderate pace given its mass.
