The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated, relatively smooth object with a diffuse, extended halo. It appears largely featureless. The core exhibits a brighter, more luminous region. The shape approximates to elliptical. The colors of the galaxy range from bluish to greenish near the core, which fade to a more red appearance towards the outer edges, indicative of differing stellar populations and activity levels across the galactic structure. Evidence suggests that the galaxy may be undergoing a period of low star formation. No signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances are apparent, though minor disturbances cannot be ruled out. The galaxy has an estimated mass close to 10^10 solar masses.
