This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, largely featureless morphology. The light profile suggests a concentrated central bulge that gradually fades into the outer regions. The galaxy's overall shape is elongated, resembling a cigar shape. Color gradients within the galaxy are subtle but detectable, with a hint of bluer hues towards the outer edges, possibly indicating some level of ongoing star formation. There is no obvious evidence of major disturbances or mergers, although minor tidal features cannot be entirely ruled out due to the image resolution. The lack of pronounced spiral arms or a distinct disk further supports its classification as an elliptical galaxy.
