There is some evidence of an interaction with another galaxy or a recent merger. There are disturbances in the disk as well as tidal features. The galaxy displays a relatively blue hue overall, suggesting ongoing star formation, the rate of which is fairly low. The central bulge appears relatively smooth. The galaxy's semi-major axis is roughly 6.8 kpc. The overall mass is around 10^9 solar masses.
