“…Under this simple assumption, the dynamical timescale of the outflowing gas ranges from 0.1 Myr nearest the quasar to 10 Myr at 17 kpc from the quasar. In an independent analysis of the exact same Q3D NIRSpec data cube on XID 2028, Cresci et al (2023) recently reported [O III]-based outflow mass rate and energetics that agree within the errors (factor of ∼3) with the values reported here.…”

Quasar feedback may regulate the growth of supermassive black holes, quench coeval star formation, and impact galaxy morphology and the circumgalactic medium. However, direct evidence for quasar feedback in action at the epoch of peak black hole accretion at z ≈ 2 remains elusive. A good case in point is the z = 1.6 quasar WISEA J100211.29+013706.7 (XID 2028), where past analyses of the same ground-based data have come to different conclusions. Here, we revisit this object with the integral-field unit of the Near Infrared Spectrograph on board the JWST as part of Early Release Science program Q3D. The excellent angular resolution and sensitivity of the JWST data reveal new morphological and kinematic substructures in the outflowing gas plume. An analysis of the emission-line ratios indicates that photoionization by the central quasar dominates the ionization state of the gas with no obvious sign for a major contribution from hot young stars anywhere in the host galaxy. The rest-frame near-UV emission aligned along the wide-angle cone of outflowing gas is interpreted as a scattering cone. The outflow has cleared a channel in the dusty host galaxy, through which some of the quasar ionizing radiation is able to escape and heat the surrounding interstellar and circumgalactic media. Although the warm ionized outflow is not powerful enough to impact the host galaxy via mechanical feedback, radiative feedback by the active galactic nucleus, aided by the outflow, may help to explain the unusually small molecular gas mass fraction in the galaxy host.

“…The scale of the violent outflow in quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) ranges from a few parsecs (υ ∼ 0.1c) to ∼1 kpc (υ ∼ 10 2−3 km s −1 ) (e.g., Pounds et al 2003;Harrison et al 2016;Förster Schreiber et al 2019;Kakkad et al 2020). An outflow with an extension of 13 pc from the center of an SMBH has been identified for the ionized gas in the obscured AGN XID 2028 at z = 1.59 (Carniani et al 2016), which is recently confirmed by the Early Release Science JWST NIRSpec observations (e.g., Cresci et al 2023). Compared with the Very Large Array 3 GHz map, the authors argue that the extended outflow in the object is likely related to the lowluminosity radio jet.…”

The feedback from the accretion of central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is a hot topic in the coevolution of SMBHs and their host galaxies. By tracing the large-scale outflow using the line profile and bulk velocity shift of [O iii]λ5007, the evolutionary role of outflow is studied here on a large sample of 221 type 2 quasars (QSO2s) extracted from Reyes et al. By following our previous study on local Seyfert 2 galaxies, the current spectral analysis on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic database enables us to arrive at the following results: (1) by using the Lick indices, we confirm that QSO2s are, on average, more frequently associated with younger stellar populations than Seyfert galaxies; (2) QSO2s with a stronger outflow tend to be associated with a younger stellar population, which implies a coevolution between the feedback from SMBHs and the host in QSO2s; (3) although occupied at the high L bol/L Edd end, the QSO2s follow the L bol/L Edd-D n (4000) sequence established from local, less-luminous Seyfert galaxies, which suggests a decrease of the accretion activity of SMBHs and also of feedback as the circumnuclear stellar population continuously ages.

“…However, the mass outflow rate of COSMOS-11142 is an order of magnitude larger than the typical values measured in local star-forming galaxies 23 , 24 . At high redshift, measurements of neutral outflows from Na i D absorption have been obtained for only a few quasars 25 , 26 , but observations of ultraviolet or submillimetre lines tracing neutral gas reveal high mass outflow rates in star-forming galaxies and AGN systems 11 .…”

Star formation shut down by multiphase gas outflow in a galaxy at a redshift of 2.45

Large-scale outflows driven by supermassive black holes are thought to have a fundamental role in suppressing star formation in massive galaxies. However, direct observational evidence for this hypothesis is still lacking, particularly in the young universe where star-formation quenching is remarkably rapid1–3, thus requiring effective removal of gas4 as opposed to slow gas heating5,6. Although outflows of ionized gas are frequently detected in massive distant galaxies7, the amount of ejected mass is too small to be able to suppress star formation8,9. Gas ejection is expected to be more efficient in the neutral and molecular phases10, but at high redshift these have only been observed in starbursts and quasars11,12. Here we report JWST spectroscopy of a massive galaxy experiencing rapid quenching at a redshift of 2.445. We detect a weak outflow of ionized gas and a powerful outflow of neutral gas, with a mass outflow rate that is sufficient to quench the star formation. Neither X-ray nor radio activity is detected; however, the presence of a supermassive black hole is suggested by the properties of the ionized gas emission lines. We thus conclude that supermassive black holes are able to rapidly suppress star formation in massive galaxies by efficiently ejecting neutral gas.
