The galaxy appears as a lenticular or possibly a spiral galaxy seen at a high inclination. The central bulge is prominent and elliptical in shape. The galaxy shows a disk-like structure which is oriented almost edge-on. There is no evidence of recent major mergers, however it may be experiencing minor tidal disturbances based on its somewhat distorted shape. The dominant light appears to be from older stellar populations, indicating a lower rate of ongoing star formation. There are no obvious spiral arms and the galaxy has a smooth overall appearance. It is moderately luminous in the optical bands, suggesting a stellar mass of approximately 10^10 solar masses. The color distribution suggests a relatively red galaxy, likely indicating a mature stellar population. The galaxy is not particularly round, but instead has an elongated, cigar-like appearance.
