This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, potentially of type E4-E5 due to its elongated shape. The light is concentrated towards the center, indicating a dense core. The galaxy exhibits a smooth, featureless morphology with no apparent spiral arms or distinct dust lanes. The color gradient suggests a relatively older stellar population, with a reddish hue. There are no obvious signs of recent star formation, and no indication of a major ongoing merger, although subtle disturbances cannot be ruled out. The galaxy's axis is tilted relative to the line of sight.
