The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth elliptical type. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge region which appears yellowish in color, suggesting an older stellar population. There is an extended, fainter halo surrounding the bulge. The overall shape is somewhat elongated, not perfectly spherical, but closer to round than a highly flattened disk. There are no distinct spiral arms or obvious signs of a recent major merger event. Subtle color variations within the halo might indicate some ongoing or recent minor star formation, but this is not definitive. Overall, the galaxy presents as a mature, relatively quiescent system.
