This galaxy exhibits an elliptical morphology, appearing largely smooth and featureless in this image. Its shape is moderately elongated, falling somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. The light distribution suggests a central bulge that dominates the galaxy's overall luminosity. There's a smooth color gradient visible, shifting from a yellowish hue in the central regions to a bluer color in the outer halo, which may indicate subtle stellar population differences with the core likely dominated by older stars. There is no clear evidence of any major ongoing mergers or significant tidal disturbances. Based on its red shift, this galaxy is relatively distant.
