This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It presents as a centrally concentrated spheroid with a gradual decrease in luminosity outwards. The color profile suggests an older stellar population, with a yellowish-white hue dominating the core region. There is little evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. A very slight elongation is present, but overall the morphology is close to circular. There is a minimal color gradient, indicating a homogenous population of stars. Given the smooth profile, I would classify this as an elliptical galaxy.
