[1] Classified a high redshift blazar,[2][3] a type of powerful radio-loud active galactic nuclei containing a relativistic jet, pointing towards the direction of Earth,[4] PKS 0805-07 shows emitted radiation, mainly detected in gamma-rays (E>~100 MeV)[5] as detected by Large Area Telescope.

[9][10][11] Like many other FSRQs, PKS 0805-07 contains characteristics like a high bolometric luminosity,[12] and thermal activity that is related to an accretion disk in the quasar's optical and ultraviolet (UV) spectra.

[16] As studied by researchers for its emission properties, PKS 0805-07 exhibits lower electron energy (γ p ≲ 1.6 × 103) compared to BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) with a separation of Γ = -0.127 log ly + 8.18 in γ-ray luminosity versus photon index plane with a success rate of 88.6\%.

[17] It also has a stronger magnetic field (B) with smaller electron-to-magnetic energy ratio (U e/U B) than BL Lacs.

[20] Since April 2009, PKS 0805-07 was shown to have high levels of gamma-ray activity when detected by Large Area Telescope.
