The galaxy presents a largely smooth morphology, appearing elliptical in shape. It displays a concentrated central bulge with a noticeable decrease in surface brightness moving outwards. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars dominating the bulge, which appears yellowish. There's a subtle hint of bluer color in the outer regions, potentially indicating some ongoing star formation, but the overall star formation rate seems relatively low. The galaxy shows a moderate degree of ellipticity, leaning more towards an in-between roundness and a cigar shape, but noticeably less of a cigar shape. No major signs of tidal disturbances or merging activity are readily apparent. The absence of prominent dust lanes or spiral arms further supports its classification as an elliptical galaxy. The estimated size indicates a substantial structure, likely composed of a significant stellar mass. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a passively evolving elliptical galaxy, with minimal recent star formation and a relatively undisturbed morphology.
