The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It exhibits an elongated, cigar-like shape, with the light distribution concentrated towards the center. There is no readily apparent structure such as spiral arms or a prominent disk. The galaxy's light profile is dominated by older stellar populations as indicated by the reddish color; some areas, mostly toward the core, show a yellowish tint suggesting some intermediate age stars may be present. There is no evidence of major ongoing mergers or significant tidal disturbances. Based on its redshift, we infer it is at a substantial cosmological distance from us.
