We identify a 860 μm counterpart with a flux density of S 860 μm = 12.2 ± 2.3 mJy and absolute positional accuracy that is better than 03. At the SMA position, we find radio-to-mid-infrared counterparts, whilst no object is found in Subaru optical and near-infrared deep images at wavelengths ≤1 μm (J > 25.4 in AB, 2σ). The photometric redshift estimate, using flux densities at ≥24 μm, indicates z phot = 3.19+0.26 –0.35, consistent with the protocluster redshift. We then model the near-to-mid-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) of SSA22-AzTEC1, and find that the SED modeling requires a large extinction (AV 3.4 mag) of starlight from a stellar component with M star ~ 1010.9 M , assuming z = 3.1. Additionally, we find a significant X-ray counterpart with a very hard spectrum (Γeff = –0.34+0.57 –0.61), strongly suggesting that SSA22-AzTEC1 harbors a luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs; LX 3 × 1044 erg s–1) behind a large hydrogen column (N H ~ 1024 cm–2). The AGN, however, is responsible for only ~10% of the bolometric luminosity of the host galaxy, and therefore the star formation activity likely dominates the submillimeter emission. It is possible that SSA22-AzTEC1 is the first example of a protoquasar growing at the bottom of the gravitational potential underlying the SSA22 protocluster.galaxies: formation; galaxies: starburst; infrared: galaxies; quasars: general; submillimeter: galaxies; X-rays: galaxiesAstrophysics and Astronomyarticle
