This galaxy appears to be a relatively luminous early-type galaxy, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy. Its morphology is generally smooth, with a high degree of central concentration. The galaxy exhibits a core with a bright, nearly point-like nucleus surrounded by a diffuse halo of light, exhibiting a roughly cigar-shaped structure. The core displays a yellowish color, indicative of an older stellar population dominated by red giant stars. The outer regions show a slightly bluer hue, suggesting a small amount of ongoing star formation, but in general, the stellar population appears quiescent with very little star formation occurring. I do not see evidence of a spiral structure or a substantial disk component. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merger activity or tidal disturbances, but it seems to have a slight distortion in shape, suggesting a possible minor disturbance.
