The galaxy appears as a single, relatively smooth, and compact structure. Its overall color is yellowish-red, suggesting an older stellar population with fewer young, blue stars and more red giant stars. It has a slightly elongated shape, appearing more in between round and cigar-shaped. There appears to be a possible merging event occurring as the galaxy seems to have a distorted shape. The lack of distinct spiral arms and the smooth appearance indicate a potentially elliptical or lenticular galaxy morphology. The subdued blue color suggests a low star formation rate. The merging features might indicate this is due to gas compression driving bursts of localized star formation, or tidal forces.
