The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated elliptical structure. The central region displays a concentrated, bright yellow color. The light fades gradually outward from the center. I note that the galaxy is primarily smooth and relatively featureless, exhibiting no clear spiral arms or bar structures, and no obvious signs of recent major mergers or tidal disturbances. There is a slight suggestion of a dust lane or subtle feature that might be causing the light to be less round, but the resolution limits a clear determination. The galaxy’s color suggests a population of older stars, but with some ongoing star formation present.
