The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy viewed at a moderately oblique angle. Its morphology indicates a relatively smooth, centralized bulge which appears to be moderately flattened. Faint arms or features are beginning to form, or alternatively are disrupted. There is evidence of recent or ongoing star formation within the galaxy, particularly concentrated in a region offset from the center. Based on color profiles, this galaxy appears to be comprised of an older stellar population in its primary body, but with active sites of star formation or blue stellar populations in what may be emerging spiral arms. There is no obvious evidence of a major merger in progress, however a minor tidal interaction cannot be ruled out.
