The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical form with a noticeable bulge at its center. It appears elongated, with a cigar-like shape. The core exhibits a yellowish hue, which may indicate an older stellar population or the presence of dust. Progressing outwards from the core, a faint blue color shift becomes apparent, potentially indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars in the outer regions, or areas of more active star formation. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or significant disturbances, suggesting a lack of ongoing major merger events. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a moderately massive system, consistent with a late-type galaxy undergoing relatively low rates of star formation.
