This galaxy appears to be an elliptical type, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated luminosity profile. The galaxy's overall shape is elongated, presenting a cigar-like morphology. The central region displays a yellowish hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. Fainter and more diffuse greenish light extends from the central region, potentially highlighting regions of ongoing, or recent, star formation. The outer regions of the galaxy fade gently into the background, and there are a few faint red structures that appear to be tidal in nature. These could be the remnants of a smaller galaxy being cannibalized.
