摘要

Deep hard X-ray and near-infrared observations of a type 2 radio-quiet quasi-stellar object (QSO) candidate at z = 0.9, AX J08494 + 4454, are reported. The 0.5-10 keV Chandra X-Ray Observatory spectrum of AX J08494 + 4454 is hard and is explained well with a power-law continuum absorbed by a hydrogen column density of (2.3 +- 1.1) x 10~(23) cm~(-2). The 2-10 keV luminosity of the object is estimated to be 7.2_(-2.0)~(+3.6) x 10~(44) ergs s~(-1), after correcting the absorption, and reaches hard X-ray luminosities of QSOs. The large X-ray absorption and the large intrinsic luminosity support the original identification of AX J08494 + 4454 as a type 2 radio-quiet QSO. Nevertheless, the deep Subaru/IRCS J-band spectro-scopic observation suggests the presence of a strong broad Hα emission line from AX J08494 + 4454. If real, the broad Hα emission line has a velocity width of 9400 +- 1000 km s~(-1), which corresponds to a typical broad Balmer line velocity width of a luminous QSO. The existence of the strong broad Ha line means that the object is not a type 2 QSO but a luminous cousin of a Seyfert 1.9 galaxy in the source-frame optical spectrum. The Balmer decrement of broad lines and the broad Hα emission to the hard X-ray luminosity ratio suggest that the nucleus is affected by dust extinction with an A_V of 1-3 mag in the optical wavelength. Optical colors and faint optical magnitudes of AX J08494 + 4454 are consistent with the model. The estimated amount of dust extinction is much smaller than that expected from the X-ray column density (A_V = 130 +- 60 mag).
