This galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology, appearing somewhat elongated in shape, with its longest axis extending approximately twice its shortest axis. It displays a smooth, diffuse light distribution characteristic of an early-type galaxy, with no prominent spiral arms or distinct dust lanes visible. The galaxy’s core appears brighter and more concentrated than its outer regions, which gradually fade into the background sky. Color gradients suggest a higher concentration of older stellar populations in the central bulge, exhibiting a yellowish-red hue, while the outer regions appear slightly bluer, potentially indicating the presence of younger stars, albeit in a sparsely distributed manner. There is some minor evidence of tidal disturbances or interactions with smaller galaxies in the surrounding region, suggesting recent or ongoing mergers. However, this disturbance is not significantly impacting the overall morphology of the galaxy. Based on its shape and color profile, this galaxy is likely an elliptical galaxy at an intermediate distance, showing an evolved stellar population and a relatively low rate of star formation.
