This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, likely elliptical, system. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge with a slight elongation suggestive of a cigar shape. The overall color is yellowish-orange, possibly indicating an older stellar population with a lower rate of active star formation. There are hints of some bluer hues towards the outer edges. Minor disturbances might be present but difficult to confirm in this image. The galaxy does not seem to be undergoing a major merger and exhibits no distinct spiral arms.
