The galaxy exhibits an elliptical morphology, appearing as a flattened spheroid. The central region presents a bright, concentrated core. Surrounding this core, a more diffuse halo extends outwards. The light distribution appears smoother and more homogenous than one might expect to observe in a spiral galaxy, with no discernable spiral arm structures visible in this image. The galaxy's color profile indicates an older stellar population, with a yellowish-red hue dominating the image, with a hint of blue. No obvious dust lanes are visible across the galaxy's disc. The galaxy's major axis is oriented roughly horizontally in the frame, with a noticeable ellipticity suggesting a deviation from a perfectly circular shape. Overall, the galaxy presents features consistent with an elliptical galaxy type, likely composed primarily of older stars with ongoing, albeit low-level, star formation.
