The galaxy presents as a somewhat compact object with a relatively smooth overall appearance. There is a noticeable color gradient, with a centrally concentrated region exhibiting a strong blue hue that fades to yellow and red at the periphery. This could indicate differing stellar populations, with a younger, hotter population concentrated in the galactic nucleus, or a centrally located active galactic nucleus, and older, cooler populations dominating the outer regions. The morphology appears generally elliptical, although there is some evidence of tidal disturbances or interactions, possibly suggesting past or ongoing minor mergers. The object's fairly consistent luminosity profile, as seen in the image, supports a lack of prominent spiral arms or other distinct features typically associated with disk galaxies.
