The galaxy presents as a somewhat smooth, elongated structure. It appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. The central bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter, bluer light extending from the central region may indicate some degree of recent star formation. The overall color indices suggest a redder, more evolved stellar population overall. There is some indication of minor disturbances or interactions, but the galaxy appears to be relatively isolated and not undergoing a major merger event. The galaxy does have an elliptical shape.
