The galaxy presents as a smooth, cigar-shaped system, likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. Its light is generally concentrated towards the center, and shows hints of a yellow hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. The lack of resolved features such as spiral arms or prominent dust lanes implies that star formation is either low or absent. Slight disturbances along the edges suggest a possibility of a minor interaction with another galaxy in the distant past.
