The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a notable elongation suggestive of a cigar shape. Its light distribution is dominated by a central, concentrated region of older stars. The main color is yellow, and this, with the lack of defined spiral arms, supports classification of this galaxy as elliptical or lenticular. There seems to be a possible indication of a very minor disturbance, like a faint dust lane. Alternatively, there might be ongoing or recent merger activity with a much smaller dwarf galaxy, evident in the subtle irregular light distribution. Further investigation would be required to verify these subtle features, but initial inspection leans toward a relatively quiescent system, likely a massive galaxy, at the center of its halo.
