This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, characterized by its smooth, symmetrical light distribution. It presents a generally rounded shape, with a slight deviation towards a more elongated form. The core region is brighter and more concentrated, exhibiting a yellowish hue suggesting a population of older stars. Moving outwards from the center, the galaxy's luminosity gradually decreases, fading into a bluish halo, possibly from a lower density distribution of stars and gas. There's no obvious spiral arm structure or distinct dust lanes discernible in the image, supporting its classification as an elliptical type. Minor asymmetry in the outer regions may hint at a previous interaction or merger event, though further observation would be needed to confirm.
