This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge with a gradual decrease in luminosity towards its outer regions. The overall shape is largely round, though with a slight elongation. There is no readily apparent spiral arm structure or significant dust lane obscuration. The galaxy's color profile is predominantly redder, suggesting a population dominated by older stars and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. There are hints of minor asymmetry or subtle disturbances in the outer halo, although a definitive determination of a merger event is difficult to assess from this image alone.
