The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated structure, consistent with an elliptical morphology. Its color profile suggests a dominant population of older stars, with a centrally concentrated reddish hue that fades to a bluer periphery. There is no apparent dust lane or spiral arm structure visible. The galaxy's overall shape indicates a cigar-like structure that suggests a rotational axis that is not perpendicular to the viewing angle. There's no strong evidence of ongoing major merging events or tidal disturbances, although subtle minor disturbances cannot be ruled out.
