This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical-type galaxy. It presents as mostly featureless, with a highly concentrated and luminous core. The light emitted is yellowish-white, suggestive of a population of older stars and a low rate of ongoing star formation. There's no discernible spiral arm structure or dust lane obscuration. The galaxy displays an approximate radial symmetry, appearing nearly circular. The slight color gradient suggests the core could be made of older, redder stars, and the outer regions possibly having younger bluer ones. There is no major morphological disturbance or strong evidence for an ongoing merger event from visual inspection of this image, though subtle asymmetries cannot be ruled out at this resolution. Overall, the galaxy shows characteristics generally consistent with an early-type galaxy, specifically an elliptical one.
