This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, generally smooth in texture with a concentrated nucleus. A slight flattening is apparent, but it's not strongly cigar-shaped. Its color suggests an older stellar population with a dominant red-yellow hue in the central region, fading to slightly bluer tones at the edges. There is no discernible disk component or spiral arms visible. No major tidal distortions or other merger indicators are obvious; however, a minor disturbance cannot be ruled out from this image alone.
