The galaxy presents as a lenticular or possibly an elliptical galaxy. The dominant color is a yellow-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. The galaxy appears to be elongated, but not highly so, with an axial ratio that indicates it is not viewed perfectly edge-on. A smooth light distribution is visible, with a central bulge that appears brighter and more concentrated than the outer regions. There are no apparent spiral arms or significant dust lanes visible in this imaging. The overall morphology indicates an evolved galaxy that is likely undergoing a process of quiescence. Possible minor disturbances are subtly implied by slight asymmetry of outer halo.
