This galaxy presents as a relatively smooth elliptical galaxy with a bright, concentrated central bulge and a more diffuse halo. Its overall shape is somewhat elongated, exhibiting an axial ratio around 0.6, with the major axis oriented approximately northwest to southeast in the image. The galaxy shows a color gradient, with the central bulge appearing yellower and the outer regions exhibiting bluer hues. This suggests a difference in stellar populations, with older, redder stars dominating the bulge and younger, bluer stars present in the outer disk or halo. There is no apparent evidence of a disk structure or spiral arms. The light distribution is centrally concentrated, decreasing in intensity gradually from the bulge to the edge of the halo. There are no signs of any ongoing major merging activity or significant tidal disturbances in this image.
