Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery of a bright quasar (E=15.8, z=0.868) associated with the flat-spectrum radio source NVSS J235953-124148. This quasar, which we designate QSO 2359-1241, possesses a rare combination of extreme properties that make it of special interest. These properties include intrinsic high-velocity outflow seen in absorption for both high- and low-ionization species, high optical polarization (∼5%), significant radio emission, and dust reddening. The dereddened absolute magnitude of QSO 2359-1241 places it among the three most optically luminous quasars known at z<1. High-resolution spectroscopy and a detailed analysis of the optical/ultraviolet absorption features will be given in a companion paper.
