The galaxy presents a smooth, ellipsoidal morphology, exhibiting a moderate ellipticity. Its color profile suggests a relatively old stellar population, with a dominant yellowish hue in the central region, transitioning to a redder tone toward the outer edges. While no distinct spiral arms or bar structures are discernible, there appears to be a minor disturbance possibly indicative of a weak tidal interaction or minor merger event. Given the overall morphology and color indices, it could be an elliptical galaxy with a redshift of 0.176004, potentially possessing an active galactic nucleus as implied by the color profile. It could also be two separate galaxies, one an elliptical or lenticular galaxy and the other a smaller elliptical galaxy with a higher proportion of recent star formation. Further spectral analysis is necessary to determine the exact classification and internal dynamics.
