This galaxy appears to be a somewhat elongated object, possibly a lenticular or edge-on spiral galaxy, exhibiting an axial ratio that suggests deviation from a perfectly circular disk. The light distribution suggests a centrally concentrated bulge that appears smooth and yellowish in color, possibly indicating an older stellar population. There is an apparent disk component or feature. The object also displays features indicating possible disturbances or merging activity. The blueish tint suggests regions of more active star formation, this appears to be confirmed by inferred star formation rates.
