The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, concentrated light profile. The central region is bright and yellowish, suggesting a population of older stars. As you move away from the center, the light gradually fades and becomes slightly redder. There is no visible dust lane or spiral arm structure. The galaxy has a somewhat elongated shape, appearing more cigar-shaped than perfectly spherical. There may be some minor disturbances present, but overall the galaxy is fairly symmetrical and undisturbed. Star formation is present, but it is occuring at a low rate. The galaxy is a relatively massive system.
