Abstract

Conclusions. The detection of a redshiftecl X-ray emission line further challenges the original BL Lac classification of PMN J1603-4904. This result suggests that the source is observed at a larger angle to the line of sight than expected for blazars. and thus the source would add to the elusive class of gamma-ray loud misaligned jet objects, possibly a gamma-ray bright young radio galaxy.
