PKS 1510-089 is a blazar[1] located in the constellation of Libra, categorized as a highly polarized quasar[2] showing fast variations in polarization angles,[3] with a redshift of (z) 0.361.[4] It was first discovered in 1966 as an astronomical radio source during the Parkes Observatory survey in 1966.[5][6] The radio spectrum of the source appears flat, thus making it a flat-spectrum radio quasar (FRSQ).[4][7]
