The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or a lenticular galaxy seen face on, at a distance where a detailed analysis of its structure is difficult. It exhibits a relatively smooth light distribution, with a high degree of central concentration. There is no obvious spiral structure or dust lane visible. The galaxy's shape is close to circular but is slightly elongated, and the core exhibits a bright central bulge with a noticeable radial color gradient; the central area has a yellow/white hue, gradually fading to a blue/white color at the outer edges. Given the high degree of smoothness and lack of a spiral structure, a low ongoing star formation rate can be expected. There are no signs of any major merger events, although a small disturbance cannot be ruled out at this image resolution. Overall, it presents itself as a fairly typical, quiescent elliptical or lenticular galaxy.
