The galaxy appears as a diffuse, elliptical object with a concentrated, bright central bulge that emanates most of its light. The central bulge is a golden yellow color which fades to a less prominent yellow hue on the outer edges of the galaxy. There is no visible disk structure, spiral arms, or evidence of dust lanes. The overall form exhibits a high degree of symmetry. The morphology is smooth, and the galaxy shows no significant signs of tidal disturbances or ongoing major mergers. There is no obvious nucleus or active galactic nuclei point source. The galaxy is rather red, indicating older stellar populations, as well as an overall low rate of star formation. The slight elongation suggests a shape that is somewhat in between a perfect circle and cigar shaped. There also appears to be no ongoing merger between this galaxy and any objects in its local environment.
