The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral with a prominent central bulge, a largely unobscured, yellow-white color indicative of an older stellar population. The lack of defined dust lanes or spiral arm structure suggests it could be a lenticular galaxy, an intermediate stage between spiral and elliptical. The color suggests relatively low ongoing star formation, consistent with the light being dominated by evolved stars. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of recent or ongoing major mergers. It is likely a massive galaxy.
