The galaxy presents as a diffuse, elliptical structure with a noticeable color gradient. Its core exhibits a bright, yellowish-white hue, indicative of an older stellar population potentially dominating that region. Moving outward from the core, the galaxy fades in brightness and transitions to a more reddish color in the outer regions. This could suggest a difference in stellar populations or dust content with the outskirts of the galaxy having an older or dustier composition. The galaxy appears relatively smooth and featureless, lacking any obvious spiral arm structures or distinct star-forming regions in this image. Its overall elongated shape suggests an elliptical morphology, possibly an E4 or E5 on the Hubble sequence. There is no immediate visual evidence of any major ongoing merger activity, though some minor irregularities in the outer halo cannot be ruled out without further data.
