Descripción
We report the discovery of the first hyperluminous infrared galaxy
(HyLIG) in the course of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS).
This object has been detected by ISO at 6.7, 15 and 90μm, and is
found to be a broad-line, radio-quiet quasar at a redshift
[formmu4]z=1.099. From a detailed multicomponent model fit of the
spectral energy distribution, we derive a total IR luminosity
LIR
[formmu5](1-1000μm)~1.0×1013h65-2Lsolar
[formmu6](q0=0.5), and discuss the possible existence of a
starburst contributing to the far-IR output. Observations to date
present no evidence for lens magnification. This galaxy is one of the
very few HyLIGs with a X-ray detection. On the basis of its soft X-ray
properties, we suggest that this broad-line object may be the face-on
analogue of narrow-line, Seyfert-like HyLIGs.
