The galaxy presents a generally smooth morphology, with a somewhat elliptical, though not perfectly circular, overall shape. The central region appears to be brighter and more concentrated than the outer regions, suggesting a possible bulge. There's a slight hint of spiral structure, though this is not definitive and is largely disrupted. The galaxy exhibits a primarily yellow-red color, indicating a population of older stars, but also some bluer star forming regions as well. There is evidence of a significant amount of merging activity occurring in the galaxy, making its overall structure appear distorted. There are some clear dust lanes visible, suggesting ongoing, but diminished star formation. The system exhibits a high mass.
