The galaxy presents as a generally smooth and centrally concentrated structure. It appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or perhaps a lenticular galaxy viewed close to face-on. The primary light emission originates from an ellipsoidal bulge, which is fairly bright and dominates the overall luminosity. The color gradient suggests an older stellar population with a significant fraction of evolved stars, as evidenced by the reddish-yellow hue of the bulge. There may be a faint disk component present but it is not well defined in this image; instead the faint edges appear smooth. The shape has an aspect ratio somewhere between an edge-on cigar and a fully round circle. There is no evidence of significant ongoing star formation in the galaxy, and no signs of interaction with other galaxies. The overall impression is that of a relatively undisturbed galaxy.
