The galaxy appears as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure, suggesting a classification as an elliptical galaxy. The light distribution is relatively smooth, with a concentration towards the center and gradual fading towards the edges. The color gradient shows a central region with a distinct yellow-red hue, potentially indicating an older stellar population. The outer edges are slightly bluer, suggesting the presence of a small fraction of younger stars. There are no distinct spiral arms or dust lanes visible. The lack of significant disturbance suggests this galaxy is not currently undergoing a major merging event.
