The galaxy presents an overall smooth morphology. It is somewhat elongated, appearing nearly round, with hints of a flattened structure suggestive of a disk, though the lack of distinct spiral arms or a prominent bulge argues against a well-defined spiral galaxy classification. There are disturbances present within the structure, which could be tidal disruptions. Color gradients are subtle, with a concentration of redder hues toward the central regions, possibly indicating an older stellar population, while the outer regions exhibit bluer tones, potentially signifying the presence of younger, hotter stars. The redder core may indicate a bulge or a more densely populated region of older stars, which can have the affect of obscuring some of the blue emissions of the galaxy. There may have been interactions with other galaxies, given the irregular structures along the outer disk. These structures may be indicative of tidal streams, which are produced during galaxy mergers. These mergers can also be the cause of increased amounts of star formation.
