This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge, which transitions smoothly into a more diffuse outer region. The primary color of the galaxy is a yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population with fewer young, hot stars. The overall shape is elongated, more akin to an ellipse than a perfect sphere, although it is not extremely flattened. There is no apparent spiral structure or prominent dust lanes visible in this image. There is no obvious visual evidence of any major ongoing mergers or significant tidal disturbances. The galaxy's features suggest it is likely a relatively massive system with subdued current star formation.
