The galaxy exhibits a generally smooth morphology, though it appears slightly disturbed. A relatively featureless halo of light surrounds a bright nucleus. The overall color profile suggests a population of older stars, with a noticeable lack of strong blue emission indicative of ongoing, vigorous star formation. The galaxy's shape appears somewhat elliptical, though not perfectly spherical. There is visual evidence that the galaxy may be interacting with one or more smaller galaxies, or tidal debris in its immediate proximity, as the light distribution is slightly asymmetric. There may be an ongoing merger occurring.
