IRAS F01364−1042 is a galaxy merger located about 690 million light years away in the constellation of Cetus. The redshift of the galaxy is (z) 0.048[1] and it was first discovered by astronomers from the IRAS Survey of bright galaxies in September 1987.[2] It is classified as a luminous infrared galaxy[3] and such contains a hydroxide (OH) megamaser with at least two components showing a velocity separation gap of 200 kilometers per seconds.[4]
