This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy observed nearly edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge, seemingly spherical, that dominates the galaxy's light output. This bulge exhibits a smooth, centrally concentrated luminosity profile, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk component is relatively faint and thin, extending outwards from the central bulge with low surface brightness. The disk appears mostly uniform in color. This galaxy does not appear to display any strong signs of recent major merger activity, although minor disturbances are a possibility.
