This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, characterized by a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution. It exhibits a nearly circular morphology, with a slight ellipticity. The galaxy's core presents a bright, unresolved nucleus, gradually fading outwards into a more diffuse halo. The overall color is yellowish-red, suggesting a stellar population dominated by older, redder stars with minimal ongoing star formation. There are no discernible spiral arms or dust lanes, further supporting its classification as an elliptical galaxy. The galaxy's smooth texture indicates a lack of significant recent merger activity, and a generally evolved state.
