This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, showing a smooth, generally featureless morphology. It exhibits a slightly elongated, cigar-like shape. The galaxy has a concentrated central bulge that radiates strongly in the yellow spectrum, implying a population of older stars. There's a suggestion of a gradient in color, with the core exhibiting a warmer hue, possibly indicating a higher density of evolved stars, compared to the fainter, more diffuse outer regions. No distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes are discernible in this image, suggesting a lower rate of star formation. There may be a minor tidal disturbance nearby, but this is difficult to ascertain with the data provided. The galaxy’s overall appearance is that of a relatively quiescent and mature system.
