This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It has a centrally concentrated, bright core, indicative of a large population of older stars. There is a slight bluing in the outer regions, potentially suggesting some recent star formation, although the overall color is redder, consistent with an older stellar population. The galaxy exhibits a nearly round morphology, with no strong evidence of a disk component or spiral arms. There appears to be no ongoing major merging events, as its overall shape is generally undisturbed. There is no visible dust lane in the image. The overall form is quite relaxed and symmetrical.
