The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy, classified as red and dead. It is reddish-orange in color, with a bright, concentrated core, the light gently fading towards its edges. The galaxy lacks any visible spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. Its overall shape is slightly elongated, suggesting it may be somewhere between perfectly spherical and cigar-shaped. There is no indication of ongoing or recent major merger activity, although there is some indication of a minor disturbance. The galaxy's color suggests a population dominated by older stars and a low rate of star formation.
