3C 309.1 is a quasar[1] located in the constellation of Ursa Minor. It has a redshift (z) of 0.90[2] and was first identified as an astronomical radio source from the Third Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources by in 1966.[3] This object contains a compact steep spectrum (CSS) source,[4] and classified as one of the most brightest and largest of its kind.[2][5]
