This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a concentrated central bulge of older stars with a yellow-white hue. There is a slight flattening, indicating that it is not perfectly spherical but more along the lines of being "in-between" roundness. The outer regions fade gently into the background sky. There does not appear to be any spiral structure or significant dust lanes present, and there is no obvious active galactic nucleus. There may be a very minor disturbance present or very small merging event, however this isn't obvious. Its color suggests a population dominated by older stars with little ongoing star formation.
