This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, with a smooth, featureless profile. The core is a bright, concentrated yellow color, suggesting a population of older stars. The light appears to gradually fade as it extends outward from the center. It seems to be slightly elongated in shape, though generally round. There is a subtle blue tint to the outer regions, possibly indicative of a small amount of recent star formation but this could also be an artifact of the color compositing of the image. There is no evidence of spiral arms, bars, or a prominent dust lane. There appears to be no significant tidal disturbance or other signs of a recent merger event. The galaxy is generally undisturbed.
