This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, cigar-like morphology. There is a notable absence of spiral arms or distinct features typically associated with disk galaxies. The light distribution appears concentrated towards the center, gradually fading towards the edges, lacking any prominent substructures or signs of active galactic nuclei. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a more orange-hued central region to a bluer periphery. No indication of any ongoing merger activity or strong tidal disturbances is visible. The galaxy is relatively isolated in the field of view, lacking apparent companion galaxies within its immediate vicinity. Star formation is likely happening, though not at a prolific rate.
