This galaxy presents as a roughly edge-on spiral, possibly with a weak bar structure. Its color profile suggests a relatively old stellar population, as its color tends toward redder hues, though there appears to be some bluer light indicating areas of recent star formation present within the disk. The galaxy appears to have a somewhat elongated, cigar-like shape. There are no immediately visible signs of a major ongoing merger, although there may be some subtle disturbances in the disk indicating a past interaction, perhaps with a smaller companion galaxy. A central bulge is visible, appearing smoother and more concentrated compared to the disk. The apparent lack of strong features within the disk might suggest that the galaxy is relatively quiescent in terms of current star formation activity.
