This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. Its shape is somewhere between round and elongated, appearing mostly in-between. The light profile is concentrated towards the center, with a gradual decrease in intensity toward the edges. There's no visible spiral structure or distinct dust lanes. The galaxy has a yellowish-orange color, suggesting an older stellar population and relatively low levels of recent star formation. There is no obvious evidence of a major merger or significant tidal disruption. The overall appearance indicates this is likely a massive galaxy dominated by evolved stars.
