The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, elliptical light distribution characteristic of an older stellar population. The central bulge is prominent and appears largely spheroidal. There is a slight flattening of the galaxy disk which may imply some rotational support, although no distinct spiral arms are visible. The color gradient suggests an aging stellar population, with a yellow-orange hue dominating the bulge region. The overall structure indicates that the galaxy is reasonably relaxed, showing little sign of significant recent merger activity, although there seems to be some minor disturbance in the form of faint, asymmetric tidal features, or perhaps evidence of minor merger activity in the past. Star formation rates appear to be low, or are non-existent in this galaxy. The galaxy’s relative roundness suggests that it is viewed at a moderate inclination angle.
