This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy at redshift z ≈ 0.09, which is a distance of roughly 400 megaparsecs.

The light profile indicates a smooth, centrally concentrated morphology with no apparent spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes.  There is a very bright central core, which gradually fades into a diffuse halo. The overall shape appears roughly elliptical but with a slight elongation along one axis, somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. There may be some minor tidal disturbances in the outer halo, but no clear sign of any active merging events, although a small interaction is possible. Based on its observed color gradient, there is some active star formation within the galaxy, and the stellar population appears to be aging, but has a good population of young stars.
