The galaxy presents as a fairly smooth, elliptical or lenticular type object. Its central region exhibits a high concentration of light, appearing nearly uniform in color, trending toward yellow-white. The surrounding halo diffuses outwards with decreasing intensity. The overall shape tends toward a more rounded form, though not perfectly circular; subtle elongation is evident. There is no apparent ongoing major merger activity, although there is some subtle visual disturbance. The galaxy appears to be moderately massive and actively forming stars at a substantial rate.
