The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its shape is broadly elliptical, appearing nearly round. There is a gradient in color, with a yellowish-white core, transitioning to a bluer outer region. The core is quite bright. I see hints of faint spiral structure, but it’s subtle. There is possibly some evidence of minor tidal disturbance. Star formation is likely suppressed. The galaxy is of intermediate mass, and the spectrum appears to be moderately redshifted, indicating it is at a great distance from us.
