This galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, appearing largely smooth with a somewhat elongated shape, resembling a cigar when viewed from our perspective. The central region exhibits a bright, concentrated core that gradually diffuses outwards. The color profile is primarily yellowish-orange, indicating a stellar population dominated by older stars and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. There are hints of minor disturbances within the galaxy's structure, though no significant merger events are immediately apparent in the image. Overall, this is a well-formed, relatively massive galaxy with characteristics consistent with an evolved system.
