The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-like morphology, suggesting an elliptical classification. Its light profile appears smooth, lacking prominent spiral arm structures or distinct features. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness and a yellowish hue, potentially indicating an older stellar population. Moving outwards from the core, the light appears to fade with a slightly redder gradient toward the edges. This color variation may reflect differences in stellar age and metallicity across the galaxy, where the center is potentially dominated by older, metal-rich stars, and the outskirts contain a population of younger, metal-poor stars. There's no visual evidence of active star formation or significant dust lanes. The overall structure doesn't present any visible signs of ongoing mergers or tidal disturbances.
