Subaru High-z Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs). XIII. Large-scale Feedback and Star Formation in a Low-Luminosity Quasar at z = 7.07 on the Local Black Hole to Host Mass Relation

Abstract

We present ALMA [CII] 158 μm line and underlying far-infrared (FIR) continuum emission observations (0''.70 × 0''.56 resolution) toward HSC J124353.93+010038.5 (J1243+0100) at z = 7.07, the only low-luminosity (M 1450 > -25 mag) quasar currently known at z > 7. The FIR continuum is bright (1.52 mJy) and resolved with a total luminosity of L FIR = 3.5 × 1012~L. The spatially extended component is responsible for 40\% of the emission. The area-integrated [CII] spectrum shows a broad wing ( FWHM = 997 km s-1, L [CII] = 1.2 × 109~L) as well as a bright core ( FWHM = 235 km s-1, L [CII] = 1.9 × 109~L). This wing is the first detection of a galactic-scale quasar-driven outflow (atomic outflow rate > 447~M yr-1) at z > 7. The estimated large mass loading factor of the total outflow (e.g., 9 relative to the [CII]-based SFR) suggests that this outflow will soon quench the star-formation of the host. The core gas dynamics are governed by rotation, with a rotation curve suggestive of a compact bulge ( 3.3 × 1010~M), although it is not yet spatially resolved. Finally, we found that J1243+0100 has a black hole mass-to-dynamical mass ratio (and -to-bulge mass ratio) of 0.4\% ( 1\%), consistent with the local value within uncertainties. Our results therefore suggest that the black hole-host co-evolution relation is already in place at z 7 for this object.
