The galaxy appears as a compact, slightly elongated structure. The overall color is a subtle blue-white, suggesting a population of relatively young, hot stars, although a fainter redder population may be present as well. There is not a strong central bulge and little apparent spiral structure. There may be faint disturbance to the galaxy as a small appendage is visible near the center. It may be the result of a past or ongoing merger event. The relative smoothness of the galaxy's light distribution suggests a lack of significant dust lanes or complex star formation regions.
