The observed galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy. Its morphology is largely smooth, with an absence of distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-like shape. There is a subtle color gradient observable, with the central regions appearing slightly redder compared to the outer edges, which exhibit a bluer hue. This could indicate older stellar populations concentrated toward the center and younger, possibly star-forming regions in the periphery. Based on the absence of clear tidal features or other morphological disturbances, it appears the galaxy is not currently undergoing a major merger. A slight asymmetry is visible, hinting at a possible minor interaction or accretion event in its past. Overall, the galaxy is a relatively quiescent system with limited ongoing star formation.
