The galaxy appears as a slightly elongated, diffuse object with a relatively smooth profile. The overall color is yellowish-orange, with hints of bluer regions on the periphery. The galaxy does not present a clearly defined spiral arm structure; instead, the light is more evenly distributed. The shape is closer to cigar shaped than round. There seems to be some sort of minor disturbance or merger event occurring, visible as a very faint, asymmetric extension. Based on its color and morphology, this galaxy has a relatively high stellar mass and modest star formation rate. The light profile is smooth, suggesting that most stars in the galaxy are older and redder stars and there is only a small fraction of ongoing star formation.
