The galaxy appears to be a large, relatively smooth system. The central region is dominated by a bright, concentrated bulge. The overall color suggests a population of older stars, with a dominant yellow-red hue. There is a very subtle suggestion of a disk-like structure, but no prominent spiral arms or dust lanes are discernible in this image. Some evidence of a minor disturbance is visible with a small bright spot in the lower right possibly caused by a tidal interaction or minor merger. Given its smooth appearance and color, this galaxy is potentially an elliptical, or a lenticular galaxy with a significant bulge component.
