The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, diffuse morphology. It displays a slightly elongated, cigar-like shape, suggesting a classification between a perfectly round elliptical and a more flattened type. The central region exhibits a brighter, more concentrated luminosity, indicative of a higher stellar density. A subtle color gradient is observed, with the core appearing somewhat redder compared to the outer regions, potentially indicating an older stellar population dominating the center. There is no apparent spiral structure, bar, or significant dust lanes visible in the image, further supporting its classification as an elliptical galaxy. The galaxy does not seem to be undergoing any major merging events or showing signs of significant tidal disturbances, although subtle irregularities may suggest minor interactions in its past.
