The galaxy appears to be a luminous elliptical, showing a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution. There are no apparent spiral arm structures, nor are there any signs of significant dust lanes or prominent star-forming regions in this particular image. The shape is elongated, approaching a cigar shape. Based on the overall color profile, it appears to be a mature galaxy, possibly with a dominant population of older stars, though some star formation might be ongoing. There is a small chance it is undergoing a minor merger event, but it is more likely undisturbed.
