The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical-like object, exhibiting a concentrated central bulge with a diffuse, less luminous halo. The color is predominantly yellowish-orange, suggestive of an older stellar population. There is a subtle hint of bluer light on the periphery of the galaxy. The overall structure indicates a likely lack of significant ongoing star formation. Irregularities in the luminosity distribution may imply a recent minor merger event or tidal interaction.
