The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated light profile. Its shape is more in between round and cigar shaped than either. The core is a bright yellow, indicating an older stellar population with minimal ongoing star formation. The outer regions fade into a dimmer halo of similar color, suggesting a relatively uniform stellar population throughout the galaxy. There is a hint of a faint, diffuse disk component and very minor disturbances in the surrounding regions. No spiral arms or distinct dust lanes are discernible in the image, consistent with an early-type classification.
