Scientific paper

We report the discovery of a narrow-line, X-ray--luminous galaxy at z = 0.9, which is the counterpart of an X-ray source detected in a deep pointing observation with the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics. The object has a hard X-ray spectrum; it is significantly detected only in the 2--10 keV band, with a flux of ~1 x 10-13 ergs s-1 cm-2. Its rest X-ray luminosity in the 2--10 keV band is estimated to be ~1 x 1044 ergs s-1 (q0 = 0.5, H0 = 50 km s-1 Mpc-1). The optical spectrum shows high-excitation and high-ionization lines but no significant broad emission line component. All these properties imply that this object is a "type 2 QSO."
