This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It exhibits a centrally concentrated brightness profile, indicative of a bulge-dominated system. The color is generally yellowish-white, suggesting an older stellar population. No distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes are visible. The overall shape is generally round, with no significant elongation or distortions apparent. There are no obvious signs of recent major merger activity, though the possibility of minor disturbances can not be excluded. The galaxy appears to be relatively quiescent in terms of star formation, as evidenced by the lack of strong blue colors associated with young, hot stars.
