The galaxy appears to be a relatively luminous, early-type system, exhibiting a generally smooth and concentrated morphology. It has a dominant spheroidal component with little evidence of significant spiral arm structure. The galaxy appears primarily round, but not perfectly so. The central bulge seems prominent, with a gradual decrease in luminosity towards the outer regions. Based on the colors present, some amount of recent or ongoing star formation may be happening. There appears to be a potential tidal arm or merging event occurring as well, further suggesting recent star formation. The absolute magnitude indicates it is a fairly large galaxy, with an estimated mass range indicating it is a moderately sized galaxy. The star formation rate estimates are fairly low, supporting its classification as an older system.
