The object appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge that exhibits a smooth, concentrated luminosity profile. Dust lanes are visible extending along the major axis, obscuring some of the light from the bulge. The overall color of the galaxy is yellowish, with some indications of bluer colors in regions outside of the bulge. The disk appears relatively thin and elongated, with an axial ratio suggesting a highly inclined orientation. There is no obvious evidence of recent major mergers or strong tidal interactions. The galaxy exhibits a low star formation rate.
