The galaxy presents as a spiral type, exhibiting distinct, well-defined spiral arms. These arms appear to be tightly wound in some regions, with a more moderate winding visible in others, tracing a generally coherent pattern around the galactic center. A central bulge can be discerned, though it appears relatively small and non-dominant. Furthermore, there is a possible bar structure bisecting the central region, and there is strong evidence to suggest the galaxy is undergoing a merging event, and one lobe may be a tidal tail being formed from the event. The overall color profile suggests a mix of stellar populations and dust. The presence of dust lanes is noticeable along the spiral arms.
