We analyze an 850 µm Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) map of the environment of the z=2.39 radio galaxy 53W002, which has been shown to reside in an overdensity of Lyα-detected galaxies. We identify four luminous submillimeter sources within a 2'.3 (1.2 Mpc at z=2.39) diameter area around the radio galaxy (which itself is a weak submillimeter source). We employ a 1.4 GHz map to accurately locate the counterpart of one of these sources, SMM J17142+5016, and identify this source with a narrow-line active galactic nucleus with an extended Lyα halo at z=2.390 that is a member of the structure around 53W002. Hence, SMM J17142+5016 is the first spectroscopically confirmed submillimeter-selected companion to a high-redshift radio galaxy. We discuss the OH-Airglow Suppression Spectrograph JHK spectrum of this galaxy and in addition present five new constraints on its spectral energy distribution longward of 1 µm, using these to estimate its bolometric luminosity as ∼8x10¹² L_☉, or a star formation rate of ∼10³ M_☉yr^–1 if young stars provide the bulk of the luminosity. This result provides direct support for the statistical detection of overdensities of SCUBA galaxies around high-redshift radio galaxies and confirms theoretical predictions that SCUBA galaxies, as the progenitors of massive elliptical galaxies, should be strongly clustered in the highest density regions of the distant universe.
