The galaxy appears to be an elliptical type, exhibiting a smooth, relatively featureless morphology. Its shape is somewhat elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like form rather than being perfectly spherical. There appears to be evidence of tidal interactions or gravitational disturbances with a companion galaxy. The object shows a colour gradient, becoming redder towards the core. The relatively low star formation rate suggests that the galaxy consists primarily of older stellar populations. The galaxy has a substantial mass and the absolute magnitudes indicate that this is a reasonably luminous object.
