The galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, viewed at an oblique angle, but not quite edge-on. The central bulge is prominent and has a smooth, concentrated light profile, suggestive of an older stellar population. The disk component is less defined, with a smoother, more diffuse light distribution, and hint of spiral structure. There is a color gradient, with the bulge appearing yellower and the disk exhibiting a bluer tint. The overall shape is elliptical. There is no evidence of strong tidal features or active galactic nuclei activity visible in this image. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger.
