The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. Its overall structure appears relatively smooth and centrally concentrated, suggestive of an early-type galaxy, possibly an elliptical or lenticular system. There is a subtle color gradient, with a slightly bluer hue towards one end. The core of the galaxy shows a brighter, more compact region. There is a very minor, but evident, distortion in the galaxy’s shape indicating possible past or present minor gravitational interaction with another galaxy, or possibly just an artifact of observation. However, a distinct tidal tail or bridge is not visible in this image. Based on its appearance, I estimate a moderate stellar mass and star-formation rate.
