The galaxy appears as an elliptical system, generally smooth in texture with a high degree of central concentration. The core displays a bright, compact nucleus that suggests the presence of an active galactic nucleus or a region of intense star formation. The galaxy appears mostly homogenous with only minimal indications of spiral arms or other distinct structures. Faint extensions suggest a lack of ongoing mergers or tidal disruptions. The overall color is yellow to red, indicative of an older stellar population dominated by red giants and older main-sequence stars, or dust obscuration within the galaxy itself.
