The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy with a bright, concentrated central bulge. Its overall shape is close to circular. There is some evidence of a faint, diffuse disk surrounding the bulge, but its features are subtle and difficult to resolve. The color gradient suggests that the central bulge is dominated by older stellar populations, while the outer regions might contain a slightly younger population of stars. There are no distinct signs of spiral arms or prominent dust lanes visible. Possible minor disturbances may be occurring, but a merger with another galaxy is unlikely based on what can be seen.
