The galaxy presents as an elliptical morphology, although there is visible asymmetry and some indication of tidal disturbances or a potential ongoing merger. The primary body of the galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth light distribution. A fainter and somewhat smaller component is seen offset from the main body, suggestive of a companion galaxy. The companion galaxy has a similar color profile to the main galaxy, indicating similar stellar populations. The shape of the galaxy is cigar shaped, implying that the viewing angle is along the major axis. Overall the colors suggest that the galaxy is actively forming stars but not at a very high rate.
