PKS 1151−348 is a quasar and a radio galaxy[2] located in the constellation of Hydra. The redshift of the object is (z) 0.258[1] and it was first discovered by astronomers conducting the Parkes Catalogue survey in September 1964.[3] It is also classified as a compact steep spectrum (CSS) quasar since the radio spectrum is mainly both compact and steep.[4][5][6]
