Notes
The presence of a young stellar population in this QSO/CSS is indicated by the low EW PAH feature detected in its Spitzer MIR spectrum (Dicken et al. 2011). The optical Gemini GMOS-S image reveals a spectacular extended structure for this system, with a prominent tidal tail/arc feature ∼34 kpc to the NW that connects to a compact secondary nucleus ∼27 kpc to the north of the quasar, as well as a broad fan of emission extending ∼38 kpc to the east of the nucleus. The overall morphology of the extended structure to the N-NW suggests that the quasar host galaxy is strongly interacting with a late-type spiral galaxy (possibly a barred spiral galaxy). Since the spiral structure of the interacting galaxy is reasonably coherent (although somewhat asymmetric), it appears that we are observing the system around the first pericentre passage of the interacting galaxies, rather than in the final stages of a merger as the nuclei coalesce. For this galaxy there are neither optical spectra nor infrared data suitable for assessing the degree of emission-line contamination of the detected features.
The optical spectrum is characteristic of BLRG/Q: rich, high-ionization narrow-line spectrum, strong, highly structured Balmer lines, and a blue continuum.

PKS1151-34
Spectral energy distribution. The blue solid line is fitted to the data from 109 to 1010 Hz. Extrapolating this line from the radio to the infrared SED tests whether non-thermal synchrotron emission from the lobes can contaminate the Spitzer mid-infrared flux. In this case the lobes emission lies out of the Spitzer beam so cannot contaminate the Spitzer data. The weak, flat spectrum, non-thermal radio core emission is also not likely to contaminate the Spitzer infrared flux data for this object.
