This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, showing a smooth, featureless morphology without prominent spiral arms or a distinct disk. Its shape is elongated, resembling a cigar, with a higher concentration of light towards the center. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-white core to a slightly bluer outer halo. This suggests the presence of older stellar populations in the central region and possibly ongoing, though subdued, star formation in the outer regions. There is no apparent evidence of significant ongoing mergers or tidal disturbances. The overall structure points towards a galaxy that has largely completed its major mergers and is undergoing relatively quiescent evolution.
