This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. The color is predominantly yellow-orange, suggesting an older stellar population with lower levels of star formation. It displays an elongated, but not highly flattened, shape, leaning towards the "in-between" category of roundness. There's no visually apparent active galactic nucleus or any significant signs of tidal disruption or merging activity. The light profile seems centrally concentrated with a fairly even falloff in brightness from the center outwards. No distinct spiral arms, dust lanes, or star-forming regions are visible. This is consistent with a high likelihood of being an early-type galaxy.
