The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, exhibiting a prominent bulge with a relatively smooth light distribution. The bulge exhibits a yellowish-orange color, suggesting an older stellar population. There is evidence of a faint, diffuse disk surrounding the bulge, with subtle blueish tints, indicative of some regions of ongoing star formation, though to a lesser extent than in actively star-forming spiral galaxies. The overall structure is somewhat elongated, but not highly disturbed. There do not appear to be any signs of major mergers or significant tidal interactions. The galaxy is reasonably massive, and its luminosity suggests substantial past star formation.
