The galaxy presents a flattened, elongated morphology, appearing as a cigar shape when viewed from our perspective. Its light distribution suggests a smooth profile, largely lacking in distinct spiral arms or prominent features. The galaxy is primarily composed of a smooth, luminous component that gradually fades towards its outer edges. There is a color gradient in the object, showing slightly bluer hues at the tips, and more yellow/white hues closer to its core. The apparent lack of prominent features, coupled with its smooth light distribution and morphology, suggests that this is an elliptical-type galaxy. There is no indication of any major merging events, however, the galaxy has a slight asymmetry, possibly indicating a minor interaction. The blue colors at the edge may suggest some star formation, but the smooth structure overall, and the redder central color, suggests most star formation is likely suppressed in this galaxy.
