This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. It exhibits a centrally concentrated bulge, which is brighter and more diffuse than the surrounding regions. There is an extended halo of fainter light surrounding the central region of the galaxy. The general shape is moderately elongated, with the major axis being several times longer than the minor axis. There may be some very faint hints of dust lanes or other features, but the overall impression is that of a homogenous and undisturbed system. The color suggests a moderate population of older stars, but with a low level of ongoing star formation activity. The galaxy doesn't seem to be involved in any major interactions or mergers with other galaxies.
