The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, with a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution and an apparent lack of spiral arms or a prominent disk structure. The galaxy exhibits a moderate degree of roundness, not appearing highly elongated or cigar-shaped. The primary color is yellowish, suggesting a population of older stars. There is some suggestion of disturbance or merging activity, with what may be tidal tails or distortions in the outer halo, and possibly two separate centers of luminosity. The galaxy exhibits a moderate level of star formation.
