This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. Its overall shape is elongated, but not strongly so. The light is centrally concentrated with a bright, yellowish core, suggesting an older stellar population dominates. There are no obvious spiral arms or distinct features like dust lanes or star-forming regions visible in this image, further supporting the classification as an elliptical galaxy with a dominant smooth component. The galaxy exhibits a gradual decrease in brightness from the center towards the edges, hinting at a fairly well-defined structure. There are no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger or significant tidal disturbances. There might be some faint bluer regions toward the outer edges, which would indicate some small amount of younger stars.
