The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical or lenticular type system. Its overall shape is roughly round. There is a central, bright bulge that appears to be composed of older stellar populations. The galaxy exhibits a slight reddish hue. The surrounding disk or halo shows evidence of some bluer regions, indicating the presence of younger stars, although they do not dominate the stellar population of this galaxy. There are subtle indications of minor disturbances, with asymmetries in the outer regions. The overall impression is of a galaxy that is relatively quiescent in terms of star formation, but with some residual activity.
