The galaxy presents a flattened, disk-like morphology, viewed nearly edge-on. A distinct, centrally concentrated bulge or core is apparent, exhibiting a brighter, more intense luminosity than the surrounding disk. The disk itself shows some evidence of possible disturbance or irregularity, with subtle asymmetries and a suggestion of warped structure. There appears to be a faint, extended halo or envelope of diffuse light surrounding the central region, which is also somewhat disturbed. Colors suggest a range of stellar populations; the bulge shows older, redder stars, while the disk contains younger, bluer stars. There is also a suggestion of active star formation. There may be some form of minor tidal interaction event occurring.
