This galaxy presents as an elliptical type galaxy with a smooth, concentrated light profile. The central bulge appears distinctly yellow-orange in color, suggestive of an older stellar population, which is indicative of lower levels of ongoing star formation. The galaxy is slightly elongated in shape, leaning more toward an oblate spheroid than a perfect sphere. A faint blue-ish halo appears around the periphery of the bulge, indicating younger star formation. There is no evidence of strong spiral arm structures or a prominent dust lane within the visible spectrum. There does not appear to be any major merger events. The color and morphological characteristics suggest a galaxy that is transitioning towards becoming a red and dead galaxy.
