This galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology, with a cigar-like shape. A bulge component is visible, appearing to be a relatively smooth, concentrated structure. The galaxy also shows characteristics of potential disturbances, with a faint disk that is not obviously spiral, and the bulge may have recently merged with this material. There is a population of older stars, given the redder color in the central region. The lower surface brightness outer regions indicate a more diffuse stellar population. The blue light is present in the disk, implying ongoing or recent star formation.
