[9] This makes it a key target of several observation campaigns[10] and also by both MAGIC Florian Goebel Telescopes[11] and High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS).

[12] In March 2009, PKS 1510-089 showed extreme gamma ray activity as observed by the AGILE satellite, which the emission originated, had an average flux of (311 ± 21) x 10−8 photons cm−2 s−1 above 100 MeV.

[13] PKS 1510-089 was also observed by Fermi-LAT from August 2008 right up to May 2012, showing several flares when its daily 0.1-300 GeV gamma ray flux exceeded 10−5 photons cm−2 s−1.

[19][20] According to Very Long Baseline interferometry radio imaging at both 6 and 20 cm, the source of PKS 1510-089 shows an unresolved core with a secondary component located 8" towards southeast.

When viewed at 1.67 GHz, a dominant component is found lying in a north direction suggesting the core is faint at this frequency.

[23] A counter jet located 0.3 mas from the core, appears to be dominated by shocked emission with a perfect aligned magnetic field.

[24] A bright knot of emission was detected in January 2010, which it was found moving down the jet at speeds of 22c while emitting strong gamma ray energy as the outburst in PKS 1510-089 increased.

According to close-up spectroscopies, they found the observed frame region size is 61.1-3.2+4.0 (64.7-10.6+27.1) light-days with an intrinsic line width speed of 1262 ± 247 km s−1.
