This galaxy appears to be an elliptical or lenticular galaxy, exhibiting a smooth light distribution with a noticeable central bulge. The galaxy is elongated, cigar shaped, and has a golden hue, suggesting an older stellar population dominated by redder stars. There seems to be a minor disturbance on the left, possible caused by a close encounter with another, smaller galaxy. There seems to be a secondary object or tidal stream on the left of the galaxy, potentially indicating a minor merging event or gravitational interaction. Star formation is likely suppressed within the main body of the galaxy.
