This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy with a prominent central bulge. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish core to bluer hues in its outer regions. The central bulge displays a concentrated luminosity, suggesting a high density of older stellar populations. The overall shape is elongated, resembling a cigar shape, possibly indicating an E4-E6 classification on the Hubble sequence. There are no distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes visible, indicating a lack of significant ongoing star formation in the central regions. However, the slightly bluer outer regions hints to some star formation. There are no obvious signs of a major merger or tidal disturbances, although a very minor asymmetry on one side could suggest a past interaction. The light distribution is largely smooth and centrally concentrated, consistent with an evolved galaxy.
