The galaxy appears to be a smooth, elliptical-like system, exhibiting a concentrated central bulge that diffuses outwards. Its overall shape is somewhat elongated, trending towards a cigar shape, rather than perfectly circular. There's a subtle color gradient, with the core appearing more yellowish-white, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter, more diffuse blueish-white light is visible in the outer regions, hinting at some younger stellar populations, but is dominated by older stellar populations. There's no apparent evidence of spiral arms, dust lanes, or significant ongoing star formation. The galaxy shows no signs of any major disturbances or merger events.
