The galaxy presents as a somewhat elliptical, though nearly circular, structure. It has a bright, concentrated central bulge, which is yellowish-white in color, suggesting a population of older stars. Surrounding the bulge is a fainter, more diffuse halo, which may contain some arm structures. These are extremely faint and loosely defined. The overall color appears to be reddish, indicating a relatively low rate of star formation. There is no clear evidence of significant dust lanes or active star-forming regions. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, showing no strong signs of recent merging activity. There is some asymmetry to the outer region of the halo, but overall the structure appears relaxed and evolved.
