The galaxy appears to be a relatively bright, elliptical-like system. It is oblong in shape, though somewhat approaching round. There appears to be a central bulge that transitions smoothly to the outer regions, and has a higher surface brightness. The colors present are relatively uniform. There is some hint of asymmetric structure, potentially indicating a past or ongoing minor interaction with another galaxy and some distortion. The object may also be undergoing a major merger with another galaxy. The overall color is on the redder end, indicating an older stellar population and relatively low current star formation. The light profile suggests a lack of significant dust lanes, barring some obscuration that could be linked to the potential asymmetric disturbance, but more data is needed.
