[2] Apart from being radio-quiet, it contains optical emission lines considered broad, measured with a full-width half maximum of Hβ > 4000 km s−1.

[6] The mass of the black hole in the center of Markarian 1014 is estimated 2.5+0.6-0.6 x 108 MΘ based on an MBH measurement carried out by the Seoul National University AGN Monitoring Project.

[9] It has a curved tidal tail found extending 60 kiloparsecs towards the north-east, suggesting it has gone through a major merger with a disk galaxy.

According to spectroscopy made on its regions with a steeper blue continuum spectrum, it has a young stellar population of stars aged between 180 and 290 million years old.

These stars are mainly found inside a clump at the eastern region and along the north edge of its tidal tail, and both southwest and east from its nucleus.
