This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. It exhibits a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution, with a distinct cigar-like shape. There is a clear color gradient, shifting from a more reddish hue in the central region to a bluer tone towards the outer edges, suggesting a population of older stars concentrated centrally, and possibly some younger stars in the outer regions. There are no obvious signs of spiral arms or a prominent disk structure. There are no apparent signs of any major merger events occurring, though there may be subtle hints of minor disturbances or asymmetries in the outer halo regions.
