This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed edge-on from our perspective. The central bulge is prominent, displaying a yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. Fainter bluish light is visible along the edges of the disk, potentially indicating regions of ongoing star formation. There is a clear dust lane visible running along the mid-plane, obscuring some of the light from the bulge. Overall, the galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth appearance, with no major signs of disruption or tidal features, however there are hints of a minor disturbance. The overall shape suggests the system is gravitationally settled. Based on the color profile and morphology, this system shows characteristics of a spiral galaxy with a moderately high mass and a modest rate of star formation.
