The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. Its light is concentrated in a central bulge, with a gradual decrease in luminosity towards the outer edges. The overall color is yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population with fewer young, blue stars. There is a slight elongation, indicating it is more "in between round" than perfectly circular, but is not particularly elongated or cigar shaped. There are no obvious signs of spiral arms or a prominent disk component. Based on the smooth appearance, the galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merging activity or displaying significant tidal disturbances. There might be a hint of very minor disturbance, but this is not definite.
