The galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology, appearing elongated with a cigar-like shape. Its light distribution is smooth, with the central region exhibiting a high concentration of luminosity. The color profile suggests a dominance of older stellar populations, indicated by the reddish-yellow hue of the galaxy's body. There is no apparent dust lane or spiral arm structure visible in this image, supporting its classification as an elliptical galaxy. Subtle color gradients suggest possible variations in stellar populations across the galaxy, warranting further investigation of resolved stellar populations, and star formation history. Tidal features are absent, implying that no major merging event has occurred recently, though possible minor disturbances may have occurred at some point in time. The size of the galaxy is relatively compact, indicating its physical diameter is a few kiloparsecs. Overall, this is likely a quiescent elliptical galaxy with minimal on-going star formation.
