This galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy viewed nearly edge-on. It exhibits a pronounced central bulge that dominates the overall light profile. The bulge is a yellow-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. A faint, reddish band stretches across the galaxy's mid-plane, indicative of dust obscuration within the disk. The disk itself seems relatively smooth and featureless, with no prominent spiral arms or star-forming regions readily apparent. The light distribution falls off gradually from the central bulge outwards. The elliptical shape of the galaxy is consistent with the edge-on disk, with an approximate ratio of the major to minor axis of roughly 5:1. There's no visual evidence of a recent major merger or tidal disturbances in the immediate vicinity of the galaxy.
