This galaxy appears to be an elongated, relatively smooth structure. Its color is yellow and red, indicating a stellar population that is mixed in age, with both younger, bluer stars and older, redder stars contributing to the overall light output. The galaxy's shape is not perfectly round. The elongation could be suggestive of either an edge-on disk galaxy or an elliptical galaxy with some degree of triaxiality. The overall appearance implies that the galaxy is not currently undergoing a major merger, though there could be minor disturbances present.
