The galaxy presents an overall smooth, elliptical morphology with a central, luminous core. There is an apparent absence of spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. The galaxy exhibits a fairly symmetrical, somewhat rounded shape, though it does have a slight cigar shape to it. There is a hint of asymmetry, potentially indicative of tidal interactions or a recent merger event. We can observe a very minor disturbance in the outer halo of the galaxy, which could support a merging or tidal interaction hypothesis. The primary color appears to be reddish-gold, suggesting a population of older stars and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation.
