This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, characterized by a smooth, featureless profile. It exhibits a slightly elongated shape, falling somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. The central region is significantly brighter and more concentrated than the outer regions, indicating a high density of stars in the galactic nucleus. The color profile suggests a population of older stars with relatively low star formation, contributing to its reddish-yellow hue. There are no visible signs of spiral arms, dust lanes, or significant star-forming regions. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major mergers or tidal disturbances, suggesting it is a relatively relaxed and evolved system.
