The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, elliptical structure with a relatively smooth appearance. The central region exhibits a concentrated, bright, yellowish hue. The color is indicative of an older stellar population, possibly dominated by red giants. Moving outward from the center, the galaxy gradually fades in intensity. There is a suggestion of some disklike features but these are poorly defined. There is no evidence of strong spiral arms or dust lanes. The smooth morphology and redder color suggest this is a galaxy that has largely exhausted its gas supply and has a low rate of star formation. The galaxy exhibits only minor disturbances, suggesting that the galaxy has not recently merged.
