The galaxy presents as a single, relatively smooth object, with a near-circular morphology. The light is centrally concentrated, appearing brightest at the core and gradually decreasing outwards. Some subtle features indicate possible weak spiral structure or tidal disturbances. There are hints of bluer light in what appears to be the outer arms. There is no distinct galactic bulge, giving way to a smooth light profile from the core to the outer regions. It is generally a massive galaxy with ongoing star formation at a modest rate.
