This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. The light is concentrated towards the center, indicating a prominent bulge. It exhibits a radial color gradient, shifting from a bluer hue at the edges to a yellower/redder hue towards the core. The galaxy appears to be relatively undisturbed, showing no obvious signs of recent major mergers or tidal interactions. There are no prominent spiral arms or dust lanes visible in this image. Based on its apparent morphology and color, this system could be a fairly massive, evolved galaxy with ongoing, low-level star formation.
