This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, early-type system, likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy. The light is concentrated towards the center, with a gradual decrease in surface brightness outwards. There is a slight elongation, but the overall shape is predominantly round. It is a fairly massive galaxy with evidence of recent or ongoing star formation. There is a possible minor disturbance of the spiral arm structure suggesting a potential interaction or merger event in its past. The color indicates a population of older stars, but there is evidence that younger stars are present as well.
