The galaxy appears as a centrally concentrated, relatively smooth object with a slight elongation. Its color profile suggests an older stellar population, exhibiting a yellowish hue. There is little evidence of distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. The overall morphology indicates a galaxy undergoing relatively quiescent star formation. The shape is closer to round than cigar shaped. There is no visual evidence of any ongoing merging activity or major disturbances. The faintness of the disk compared to the bulge supports the hypothesis that this is a passive galaxy with minimal gas content. The lack of blue light in the galaxy further indicates this galaxy isn't in the midst of star formation.
