This galaxy appears to be a relatively bright, smooth object, likely an elliptical. It has a centrally concentrated luminosity profile with a gradual decrease in brightness towards the outer edges. There is a slight elongation observable, suggesting it is not perfectly spherical, but rather somewhere in between round and cigar shaped. There is no obvious evidence of spiral arms or significant disk features. No major or minor mergers/disturbances are visible. The color indices suggest a population of older stars, resulting in the somewhat red-shifted appearance. Star formation appears to be low within this galaxy.
