The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, possibly of type E4 to E6, elongated along its major axis. There is evidence of a relatively smooth light distribution with a dominant bulge, showing some internal color variation. The object appears to be largely spheroidal. The general yellowish-red color suggests an older stellar population and low star formation activity. There is evidence of an ongoing merger or tidal disturbances. The luminosity suggests that this is a massive galaxy. The slight blue color may suggest the presence of hotter, younger stars, and the galaxy may be actively forming stars.
