The galaxy appears as a fairly smooth, elliptical-like structure with a concentrated central bulge that emits a bright, yellowish light, indicative of a large population of older stars. There is some indication of a subtle disk, but features such as spiral arms are indiscernible. The overall shape leans towards being round, but not perfectly spherical. A slight elongation or disturbance in the shape suggests there may have been past interaction or a minor merging event with another galaxy. The galaxy's color gradient implies a relatively low rate of recent star formation.
