The galaxy presents as a smooth, somewhat elongated structure, exhibiting a prominent central bulge. The overall shape is elliptical, trending towards a cigar-like form. The primary color of the bulge region is a bluish-white, indicative of a population of relatively young, hot stars, although the precise age distribution warrants further spectroscopic investigation. There is a subtle suggestion of a disk-like component, but the absence of clear spiral arms suggests this galaxy is either an early-type spiral or a lenticular galaxy. I also believe it might be in the middle of or recently finished a merger, the disturbed tidal features around the galaxy indicate such a possibility. I would also recommend that a more accurate spectra is taken to confirm the star forming rates mentioned above.
