This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. It exhibits a smooth, concentrated central bulge with a yellowish-orange hue, indicative of an older stellar population. There is a noticeable elongation, with the major axis significantly longer than the minor axis. A faint, diffuse halo surrounds the central region, gradually fading into the background. There's no clear evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The overall structure suggests a relatively evolved system, likely with ongoing, though not intense, star formation. There is no obvious sign of tidal disturbances or an ongoing merger.
