The galaxy exhibits a generally smooth morphology, suggestive of an elliptical or lenticular classification. Its overall shape is elongated, with a pronounced cigar-like appearance. There's a notable color gradient across the galaxy; the central region presents a yellowish hue, transitioning to bluer tones towards the outer edges. The core seems relatively concentrated, and the absence of clearly defined spiral arms or significant dust lanes supports the classification as either elliptical or potentially a smooth disk galaxy viewed edge-on. There is no indication of a major ongoing merger, though a potential minor disturbance cannot be entirely ruled out from this image alone. The color profile may indicate some on-going star formation, but it is not very high. The redshift indicates that this is a relatively distant object.
