The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy. It presents as a relatively smooth, featureless object with a high degree of central concentration. It has a fairly regular elliptical shape, being somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. The galaxy exhibits a radial gradient in luminosity, being brightest in its center and gradually fading towards its periphery. Based on its color, it appears to be a more mature galaxy. There may be a sign of some minor interaction with another galaxy. There appears to be a second object in the image that has some tidal features associated with it. Given its relatively smooth appearance and the low level of star formation activity, this galaxy likely has a dominant population of older stars.
