The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy seen at an oblique angle.  There is an area of strong active star formation that has a slight bluish cast near the center. A significant portion of the galaxy exhibits a smoother profile, appearing as a more amorphous orange/yellow glow. This suggests an older stellar population. There appears to be an ongoing gravitational interaction with another galaxy, or recent merger with some morphological disturbance. The morphology appears to be somewhere between a well-defined spiral and an elliptical.
