Abstract
The new results of spectrophotometry, and X-ray imaging spectroscopy observations for the high-polarization, radio-loud and Gev gamma-ray-loud blazar PKS 1510-089 have been observed. The main results show that: (1) A double-horned broad Hβ line in the spectrum of PKS 1510-089 has been discovered. The Hβ double-peaked emission profiles are impressive with the line asymmetry that the red peak seems to be higher than the blue peak; (2) The observation of X-rays, performed with the ACIS-S detector aboard the Chandra X-ray observatory, led to the discovery of a bending X-ray jet, coincident with the radio arcsecond jet of PKS 1510-089; (3) According to the reverberation mapping method and the empirical relation between the broad line region (BLR) size and the optical continuum luminosity at 5100 Å (the rest frame), we obtained the Virial mass of the central primary black hole, which coincides with our previous result by extremely rapid optical variability method. In addition, based on these new observational results mentioned above and the other previous observations, we have discussed the theoretical models for PKS 1510-089. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
