The galaxy presents a distinct, elongated morphology. The primary color distribution suggests a dominant population of older stars, indicated by the reddish-orange hue, particularly concentrated towards the central bulge. This central region is the brightest part of the galaxy. Moving outwards from the center, there's a gradual shift towards slightly bluer colors. While there are hints of a disk-like structure, it is relatively smooth and lacks any prominent, well-defined spiral arms. The galaxy does not show evidence of any major ongoing mergers, though some minor disturbances or irregularities cannot be ruled out. Its overall shape is reminiscent of a cigar, indicating it is a relatively high ellipticity galaxy.
