Notes
The optical spectrum of this radio galaxy shows a moderate-ionization emission line spectrum along with broad wings to the Balmer lines. The continuum spectrum is typical of early type galaxies. The object has a bright emission line blob ~10 arcsec to the NE of the nucleus that shows an unusually high ionization state (see Tadhunter et al. 1987, 1988).
At radio wavelengths PKS2152-69 shows hybrid FRI/FRII characteristics, and the NE emission line blob is found to be situated close to a knot in the radio jet, suggesting that a jet-cloud interaction has taken place at this location (Fosbury et al. 1998, MNRAS, 296, 701).
