The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth and featureless elliptical. The light is concentrated towards the center. The overall shape is somewhat elongated, showing a cigar-like morphology. There does not appear to be any evidence of a disk, spiral arms, or recent major merger events. The color suggests it is composed primarily of older stellar populations, giving it a reddish-pink hue, and a lower rate of on-going star formation activity. Minor disturbances or interactions cannot be completely ruled out based on the image alone.
