This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy at an approximate distance corresponding to a redshift of z=0.088. It has a cigar-like shape, suggesting it is an elongated ellipse. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, with a brighter, yellower central bulge that fades to a dimmer, redder disk. The outer regions of the galaxy display no significant spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. There is no evidence of any major merger activity or strong tidal disturbances. A faint, red halo surrounds the central region.
