The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth object with a somewhat elongated, cigar-like shape. There is a subtle color gradient with a brighter, bluish core that fades to redder tones in the outer regions. There is no apparent spiral structure, and the galaxy generally lacks any prominent features such as distinct dust lanes, star clusters or regions of intense star formation. The galaxy’s profile suggests it is an elliptical or lenticular type, with the light distribution decreasing smoothly from the center outwards. The lack of significant irregularities or distortions suggests no major mergers or interactions have occurred recently.
