The galaxy presents as an elliptical or lenticular type, appearing relatively smooth with a high degree of central concentration. Its shape is elongated, suggesting a possible classification leaning toward an E4-E6 elliptical, or an S0 lenticular galaxy seen nearly edge-on. There is a slight color gradient across the galaxy; the core region appears more yellowish-orange, potentially indicating an older stellar population and a lower rate of star formation in this region. Progressing outward, the outer regions of the galaxy take on a slightly bluer hue, suggesting the presence of some younger, hotter stars, although the overall color profile indicates a predominately quiescent system. No strong dust lanes or distinct spiral arm features are apparent in this image. There are no signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances. The overall structure is consistent with a massive system with low specific star formation rate.
