This galaxy presents as an elliptical system, elongated with a cigar-like shape. It exhibits a smooth, featureless profile in the observed wavelengths. The central bulge appears bright and concentrated, with a yellowish hue, indicative of an older stellar population. There is a subtle color gradient, with slightly bluer tones towards the outer regions, implying the potential presence of younger stars or ongoing, albeit low-level, star formation activity. There is no apparent dust lane or spiral arm structure visible in this image, and it does not appear to be undergoing any major merger events.
