This galaxy appears to be an elliptical, with a smooth, diffuse light distribution and no obvious spiral arm structure or dust lanes visible in this image. Its shape is elongated, but not extremely so. There is no prominent central bulge apparent. The color profile is dominated by redder hues, indicating an older stellar population with minimal ongoing star formation. There are hints of blue, possibly indicating some younger stars. There are no signs of interactions, such as tidal tails or distortions, suggesting a relatively isolated system.
