The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated structure, suggesting a spheroid or lenticular morphology. Its color profile exhibits a gradient, with a reddish-orange hue concentrated centrally, indicative of an older stellar population. The outer regions display a bluer tint, potentially signaling the presence of younger stars, although to a lesser extent than the galactic core. There's little indication of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy's shape is notably cigar-shaped and its overall structure appears undisturbed, with no clear signs of major mergers or tidal interactions. The observed characteristics suggest that star formation is low within the galaxy, leading to an overall smooth and passive appearance.
