This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge that transitions smoothly into a faint, diffuse halo. The core is a yellow-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars. The overall shape is somewhat elongated, but not excessively so, appearing mostly in between round and cigar-shaped. There is no obvious evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. No active galactic nucleus is clearly visible in the image. There are no indications of major merging activity, although minor disturbances cannot be ruled out based on the visual data alone.
