The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or potentially a lenticular galaxy viewed at a high inclination. It is elongated in shape, with a smooth and relatively featureless appearance. There is a noticeable color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-white central bulge to a bluer hue at the edges. The galaxy lacks any distinct spiral arm structure. There is no evidence of any significant dust lanes or prominent star-forming regions. The overall luminosity suggests that this galaxy is of substantial mass. Based on its color, it shows some signs of star formation, but it is likely at a fairly low rate. The absence of any obvious tidal features or disturbances suggests that the galaxy has not undergone a recent major merger event, though there is evidence it may be experiencing a minor disturbance.
