This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It exhibits a centrally concentrated luminosity profile with a gradual decrease in brightness outwards. The color is predominantly bluish-white near the core, indicative of a population of younger, hotter stars. The galaxy's overall shape is elongated, somewhere between round and cigar-shaped, suggesting it may not be a perfect sphere. There's no obvious presence of a spiral arm structure or dust lanes. Based on the image, this galaxy is likely not undergoing a major merging event, though minor disturbances cannot be ruled out at this resolution. There are signs of lower-level star formation, but this is not a particularly active star-forming galaxy.
