This galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated elliptical structure. The core exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, suggesting a high density of stars. The galaxy's overall color appears yellowish-white, potentially indicative of an older stellar population with a reduced proportion of young, blue stars. There's a subtle color gradient visible, transitioning to a slightly redder hue in the outer regions, which might be due to the presence of dust or a change in the stellar population with radial distance. The galaxy does not show any prominent spiral arm structures or significant signs of active star formation in the image. It appears relatively undisturbed, lacking any major tidal features or obvious signs of recent merger activity. The galaxy's shape is noticeably elliptical, with a minor-to-major axis ratio less than one, indicating a flattened spheroidal form.
