The galaxy appears to be of elliptical morphology, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution. It has an elongated, cigar-like shape. There is a suggestion of a redder core region that smoothly transitions to bluer, more diffuse outer regions. No distinct spiral arm structures or dust lanes are apparent. There appears to be no indication of a major ongoing merger, although a minor gravitational disturbance cannot be ruled out due to some faint asymmetry in the outer halo. The galaxy’s profile appears relatively undisturbed, suggesting a dynamically relaxed system.
