The galaxy appears to be a relatively luminous, though somewhat distant, object. Morphologically, it presents a generally smooth appearance, suggesting an elliptical or lenticular classification, though the image resolution limits definitive determination. There is a slight elongation, the object is neither perfectly circular nor dramatically flattened. It seems possible based on the morphology of the galaxy, and from the mass estimates, that the galaxy is undergoing some kind of minor merger or tidal interaction. Given its high mass estimates, it is likely a very old galaxy with a very low star formation rate.
