The galaxy appears to be an elliptical morphology. It exhibits a generally smooth light distribution, with a bright, concentrated central bulge that emits strongly in the redder wavelengths, suggesting an older stellar population. The overall shape is quite round, with only a very slight deviation from perfect circularity. The outer regions fade gradually, and the internal structure is smooth without strong indications of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. There are subtle, faint, disturbances in the overall form of the galaxy. The galaxy's redshift indicates that we are viewing it at a significant cosmological distance. The estimated size implies the galaxy is a large system.
