The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object, likely an elliptical. There is some evidence of a flattened structure, but it is dominated by a large spheroidal component. There may be an extended halo, but this is difficult to ascertain. The galaxy is dominated by older stellar populations and a low rate of ongoing star formation. There is no strong evidence of a recent or ongoing merger event, but possibly minor disturbances. The galaxy exhibits a moderate redshift, indicating a substantial distance.
