The galaxy presents a generally smooth and elliptical morphology. There is a concentration of luminosity toward the galactic center, with a gradual decrease in brightness moving outward to the edges. Its shape appears elongated, with the ratio of its major to minor axis indicating a possible classification toward the cigar-shaped end of the elliptical spectrum. No distinct spiral arm structure is readily apparent. Evidence does not suggest the galaxy is currently undergoing a major merger or significant tidal interaction, though minor disturbances cannot be ruled out at this resolution. The color profile suggests a relatively older stellar population, based on the redder hue of the galaxy. The low rate of star formation suggests that the galaxy is in a relatively quiescent state.
