Scientific paper

Images and spectra of the extended luminous material associated with the low-redshift QSO Markarian 1014 are presented. Stellar absorption lines indicative of an admixture of early- and late-type stars are present at the same redshift as that of the QSO nucleus. The distribution of the luminous material is highly asymmetric, appears spiral-like, and on a deep CCD image, its total extent is about 90 kpc. Markarian 1014 is one of the most striking examples yet found of a galaxy with a fairly luminous QSO nucleus. The large extent and asymmetry of the stellar distribution and the spectroscopic evidence for a recent burst of star formation point to a large-scale perturbation of the galaxy, perhaps the result of a recent interaction or merger.
