This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. It exhibits a bright, concentrated central bulge, gradually fading into a more diffuse halo. The galaxy presents an overall elongated shape, though it leans towards being more 'in-between' than a highly elongated cigar shape. There is a slight bluish tint in the outer regions, potentially suggesting the presence of some young, hot stars or ongoing star formation, though the overall color profile suggests an older stellar population. There's no obvious evidence of spiral arms or a disk structure, nor any major mergers or strong tidal disturbances visible in this image. There may be minor disturbances, but that could be the result of artifacts of the image. There are no very bright or overly distinct knots or features present within the galaxy structure.
