This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated light profile. There is a hint of bluer light surrounding its central bulge. The galaxy displays a slightly elongated shape, trending toward a cigar-like morphology. There is no obvious evidence of a spiral disk or prominent dust lanes. Its apparent color suggests the presence of an older stellar population, with the hint of blue indicating regions of more recent star formation. The galaxy is quite massive and red. There is no significant presence of a major merger event, it would appear that it may be in the process of cannibalizing a smaller galaxy based on subtle disturbances.
