The galaxy presents a generally smooth morphology, appearing elliptical in shape with a notable elongation. The color gradient suggests a concentration of older stellar populations toward the central region, indicated by a yellowish hue, possibly due to a higher density of red giant stars. Fainter bluish regions are observed towards the outer parts of the galaxy, potentially signaling more recent, though perhaps subdued, star formation activity in the galaxy's periphery. No prominent spiral arm structures or distinct dust lanes are discernible in this image, which, along with its elliptical shape, is indicative of an elliptical galaxy. Evident from the smoothness of its light distribution, the galaxy doesn't show any obvious signs of a major ongoing merger. A slight perturbation or a minor interaction with a small companion galaxy cannot be ruled out, though it isn't visible in the image.
