The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth and centrally concentrated system. It exhibits a slightly elongated, cigar-like morphology, and is not perfectly circular, but rather somewhat flattened. There's a smooth decrease in luminosity from the central bulge outwards. While there isn't any strong evidence of spiral arm structure, there might be a subtle disk component implied by the flattening. No obvious signs of a recent major merger or strong tidal disturbances are present, although a minor disturbance cannot be ruled out. Based on the color gradient, there are likely older stellar populations dominating, but some recent or ongoing star formation is possibly occurring.
