The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated object with a noticeable color gradient. The central region exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars and a possible concentration of dust. Moving outward from the center, the color transitions to a slightly bluer tint, hinting at the presence of younger, hotter stars in the outer regions. This color distribution may indicate ongoing, though not necessarily vigorous, star formation. The overall form lacks the distinct spiral arm structure associated with actively star-forming galaxies. The galaxy’s shape is more akin to an elliptical or lenticular morphology, though some subtle features suggest the presence of a faint disk. There is a slight asymmetry to the galaxy, with a hint of a disturbance or tidal feature on one side.
