The galaxy appears to be an elliptical type, elongated in shape, with a high degree of central concentration. The light profile suggests a smooth distribution of stars, transitioning from a bright, yellowish core to a fainter, bluer outer halo. There is little evidence of spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. The overall color is indicative of an older stellar population, with a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. The shape could be described as cigar shaped, with a smooth texture. There appears to be no interaction or merging occurring.
