This galaxy presents a generally smooth and relatively featureless appearance. It exhibits a distinct, elongated shape, resembling a cigar when viewed from our perspective. The galaxy's light distribution suggests a concentration of older stars and a lack of prominent spiral arms or dust lanes. There is no evidence of ongoing or recent major merger events, suggesting a relatively stable evolutionary history. The galaxy displays a yellow-white hue, indicative of a dominant population of older stars with low recent star formation.
