Irregular clumps of emission linked to star formation are detected in the ultraviolet image of this galaxy [Allen et al.2002]. The near-infrared image shows a flattened galaxy elongated southeast to northwest. The dust lane perpendicular to the elongation of the galaxy is visible in both the WFPC2 and NICMOS images. An arc-like source is present approx. to the southeast.
