This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed edge-on or at a high inclination. The central bulge is prominent and displays a relatively smooth, concentrated luminosity profile. Dust lanes are visible, bisecting the galaxy and obscuring the bulge and disk light along the midplane. Faint extensions of light are visible around the central disk. The overall color gradient suggests older stellar populations dominate the bulge, while bluer regions with younger stars may be present within the disk. The structure looks somewhat disturbed or asymmetric; it is possible this galaxy is in a late stage merger with an older galaxy. There may also be minor tidal disturbances present. Overall it looks like an interesting case for further inspection.
