The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. It exhibits a cigar-like shape, with an elongated profile. There is a suggestion of some bluer light towards the central region, though the galaxy is generally uniform in color across its surface. The lack of strong color variation or visible dust lanes suggests a low rate of current star formation. There may be a very slight disturbance within the galaxy. It appears to not be undergoing any major merging events.
