The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy with a smooth, diffuse structure. There is a concentration of light towards the center, suggesting a prominent galactic nucleus. The overall shape is elongated, displaying an approximate cigar shape. The color profile is generally yellowish-white, indicative of an older stellar population. Faint blue-ish tendrils extend from the body, which could suggest the presence of a minor disk, and possible low levels of star formation. There is no evidence of strong spiral arm structures, or significant dust lanes within the galaxy. There is no indication of any nearby companions or tidal disturbances that would imply an ongoing or recent merger event.
