This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated light profile. It is elongated in shape, with the longest axis oriented horizontally in the image. There's a noticeable color gradient, shifting from a yellowish-white core to a bluer hue in the outer regions. There's no obvious signs of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. It seems the galaxy is not currently undergoing a major merger or showing signs of significant tidal disturbances. It is plausable that the outer regions may be in the earlier stages of star formation. The light profile suggests that the galaxy is evolved and massive.
