The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical form. Its color gradient is such that the core appears more yellow to gold, while the outer regions are less vibrant. The overall shape is elongated, with an aspect ratio that suggests a classification somewhere between perfectly round and a cigar shape. There are no obvious spiral arms or a prominent disk structure visible. Close inspection does not reveal any strong indication of a recent major merger event or significant tidal disturbances, although minor irregularities in the outer halo cannot be completely ruled out at this resolution. The lack of any strong blue color component suggests little active star formation.
