This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy at a redshift of approximately 0.23, indicating a considerable distance. Its overall morphology is smooth, with a high fraction indicating it is mostly smooth and does not contain many features. The shape is more "in between" round and cigar shaped as opposed to perfectly round or cigar-shaped. The galaxy presents a generally elliptical profile in the image, elongated along one axis. The light distribution is concentrated towards the center, exhibiting a bright core which gradually fades outwards. The color profile seems to have a slight radial gradient, transitioning from a more yellowish central region to a redder outer halo. There may be minor disturbance or interaction with another galaxy nearby, though the appearance is mostly undisturbed. Overall, this galaxy displays the typical characteristics of an early-type galaxy with ongoing or recent star formation activity given it's blue magnitudes.
