Abstract
Spectrophotometry of the faint radio galaxy 3C 343.1 shows a strong emission line in the red. If identified with ⋋3727 of [O II], it yields z = 0.750. The identification is aided by noting that ⋋3869 of [Ne III] is marginally visible. The optical continuum is relatively blue in color; it is likely to be caused by a population of stars younger than often found in nearby E galaxies. By comparison with other distant galaxies of established z, the isophotal diameter of about 7" measured for 3C 343.1, is consistent with the proposed redshift and corresponds to a linear size of 70 kpc and to a surface brightness of µτ ≈ 26 mag arcsec^(-2).
