This galaxy appears to be a luminous, elliptical galaxy with a generally smooth morphology. It is characterized by a concentrated central bulge that emits strongly in the redder wavelengths, suggesting an older stellar population. The light profile smoothly fades with distance from the core. There's little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The overall shape is close to circular, exhibiting minimal elongation or asymmetry. There are no readily apparent tidal features or close companions to suggest recent merger activity, although some subtle distortions may be present. The color gradient suggests a lack of ongoing star formation, with the outer regions appearing slightly bluer, although this could also be due to instrument noise at the fainter edges. The galaxy is relatively isolated in this field of view.
