This galaxy appears to be an elongated or cigar-shaped galaxy, likely an elliptical, with a smooth light distribution. The primary body shows a concentration of light toward the center. The color profile shows a redder hue towards the central region, gradually transitioning to a slightly bluer tint towards the outer edges. This could indicate an older stellar population is concentrated towards the center, with younger, bluer stars found in the outskirts. There is also a secondary concentration of light on one side of the main galaxy that appears to be interacting with the main galaxy via some distortion, or merging. This could indicate a minor merger event. Otherwise, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed. The overall luminosity suggests a moderate to high stellar mass, which correlates with moderate star formation activity.
