This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy at a considerable distance, exhibiting a smooth, cigar-shaped morphology. The core is a bright, concentrated yellow/orange hue, which fades into the surrounding halo. The light distribution is somewhat uneven, but there are no clear signs of spiral arms, bars, or a significant disk component. The color suggests an older stellar population with relatively low levels of ongoing star formation. There are no visible tidal features or evidence of recent major mergers. Some faint asymmetry suggests potential minor interactions or disturbances.
