This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, classified as 'smooth' due to the lack of distinct spiral arms or prominent features. Its shape is elongated, resembling a flattened spheroid, with a brighter, more concentrated central region. The galaxy's color distribution indicates a population of older stars, with a yellowish-red hue dominating the central bulge. Fainter, bluer light is observable in the outer regions, suggesting some ongoing star formation. The galaxy does not show any signs of significant tidal disturbances or mergers.
