3C 433 is a Seyfert galaxy[1][2] located in the constellation Vulpecula. It has a redshift of z =0.1016,[3] and is classified as a peculiar radio galaxy with high luminosity other than its complex shell-type.[4] Apart from that, it has a young stellar population[5] and a radio structure mainly made up of knot and jet structures.[6] Using mid-infrared wavelengths from Spitzer Observations, 3C 433 hosts a hidden quasar.[6]
