This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. The central bulge exhibits a concentrated, bright, yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The galaxy appears to be generally round in shape. There is a slight elongation, but it is not strongly cigar-shaped. There does not appear to be any obvious, large scale ongoing merger activity, though there may be minor disturbances in the overall structure of the galaxy. The light profile fades relatively smoothly from the core outwards, implying little recent star formation. The overall color suggests a lack of significant dust lanes or very young, blue stars. The size of the galaxy appears moderate, given its distance implied by the observed redshift.
