The galaxy presents an overall elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. The light distribution appears relatively smooth, with a high concentration of light towards the center, suggesting a prominent bulge. The color profile indicates a significant population of older stars. The central region exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, which is indicative of older stellar populations. There is a suggestion of bluer regions towards the outer edges, which could suggest some level of recent star formation activity, although it is minimal. I cannot see clear indications of spiral arms or strong dust lanes within the visible portion of this galaxy. Overall it is an elliptical galaxy. There does not appear to be any recent major merging events, though there may be a minor disturbance of some kind.
