This galaxy presents as a lenticular or possibly an elliptical morphology based on its overall shape. It appears relatively smooth in structure, lacking strong spiral arms or irregular features. The light distribution indicates a concentrated central bulge region, which then fades into a fainter extended halo. There is a noticeable color gradient from the center outwards; the core exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Moving away from the core the galaxy's color subtly shifts towards redder tones, possibly indicating the presence of dust and aging stars. The galaxy's elongated shape suggests it is not perfectly spherical and is likely cigar shaped. There is no clear evidence of ongoing major mergers or strong tidal disturbances in this image. The overall impression is of a relatively evolved, quiescent system.
