The galaxy presents as a lenticular or possibly an elliptical morphology. It is characterized by a relatively smooth and concentrated central bulge that appears yellowish in color, suggestive of an older stellar population. Extending from this central region is a fainter, elongated disk. There is a hint of blue along parts of the galaxy indicating some level of recent, or ongoing, star formation, though it appears to be suppressed overall. The galaxy lacks any apparent spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. The overall shape is cigar-like, implying that if the structure has a disk, it is seen at an angle. The overall impression is that of a galaxy with minimal ongoing star formation.
