The galaxy appears to be an elongated, cigar-shaped system, with a smooth, concentrated central bulge. The light distribution suggests it is an early-type galaxy. There is a clear, but weak disk component. There are no readily apparent signs of tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers. The color is predominantly a slightly blueish white, hinting at some young stars. However, the smoothness and lack of strong color gradients indicate a relatively low rate of star formation. There is a lack of spiral arm structure.
