The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure. The central region exhibits a concentrated luminosity, suggestive of a prominent galactic nucleus. The overall color gradient transitions from a yellow-orange core to a subtly redder halo. There is some elongation evident and a slight asymmetry, perhaps from a recent interaction, which may also be the cause of the disturbances to its shape. While a disk-like feature can not be determined from this image, there are suggestions of spiral arms. Based on this, the galaxy may be a merging galaxy, either with a much smaller galaxy, or with tidal remnants of a prior galactic merger.
