This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. Its overall color is yellowish-white, with slight hints of red towards its outer edges. A brighter, more concentrated core suggests the presence of an older stellar population. There are several fainter, reddish objects in close proximity to the galaxy. These might be HII regions or other areas of active star formation, but could also be background objects or tidal debris, however the smooth nature of the object suggests it is largely non-star forming and does not contain dust. Based on the observed morphology, it is likely that this galaxy has undergone some form of past merger events, that have largely smoothed out.
