Scientific paper

Low resolution IDS and medium resolution long slit image tube spectrograms of the radio galaxy PKS 2152-69 are discussed. The nucleus of this bright galaxy shows an intense emission line spectrum with LINER-like properties. The relatively weak Balmer emission lines H-alpha and H-beta have moderately broad wings fitting the definition of the Intermediate Line Radio Galaxies. The continuum energy distribution shows a strong UV excess, but otherwise an essentially normal stellar absorption spectrum. The emission line spectrum is tentatively explained by assuming the superposition of contributions from a relatively weak photoionized central source and more extended regions of shock-heated gas.
