This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a lenticular galaxy seen nearly edge-on. The light profile appears smooth and concentrated towards the center, which exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. There is an indication of a faint disk-like structure or envelope surrounding the central bulge, though it is not well-defined. The overall shape of the galaxy is elongated, but not extremely so. Based on the color, we can infer there is relatively little ongoing star formation. There are no distinct features that suggest a recent major merger event, though there is a subtle asymmetry which may indicate a minor interaction in its past.
