The morphological class of NGC 7090 is Scd,[8] indicating it is a spiral with loosely-wound and somewhat disorganized arms. The galactic plane is inclined at an angle of 89° to the line of sight from the Earth,[8] giving it an edge-on view. The combined mass of the stars in this galaxy is 5.5 billion times the mass of the Sun (M☉), while the star formation rate is ~0.5 M☉·yr−1.[6] As a result of star formation, the diffuse ionized gas in the galaxy has a complex organization, showing filaments, bubbles, and super-shells.[9]

Three transient ultraluminous X-ray sources have been detected in NGC 7090.[10][11]
