摘要: Recent high-$z$ quasar observations strongly indicate that super-Eddington accretion is a crucial phase to describe the existence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with $M_\mathrm{BH} \gtrsim 10^9 M_\odot$ at $z \gtrsim 7$. Motivated by the theoretical suggestion that the super-Eddington phase efficiently produces outflows and jets bright in radio bands, we search and find a super-Eddington radio-loud dust-obscured galaxy (DOG) J1406+0102 at $z=0.236$, through cross-matching of the infrared-bright DOGs of Noboriguchi et al. (2019) with the VLA/FIRST 1.4 GHz radio and the SDSS optical spectral catalog. DOG J1406+0102 shows broad components in the Balmer lines. Assuming those lines are from the broad line region, it gives BH mass estimation of $\log\ (M_\mathrm{BH}/M_\odot)=7.30 \pm 0.25$, and AGN luminosity of $\log (L_\mathrm{bol,[OIII]}/\mathrm{erg}~\mathrm{s}^{-1}) = 45.91\pm0.38$ estimated from the intrinsic [OIII] luminosity, resulting in super-Eddington accretion of $\lambda_\mathrm{Edd}\simeq 3$. We show that 1) DOG J1406+0102 is operating strong AGN feedback: the [OIII] outflow velocity exceeds the escape velocity of the host galaxy halo and the kinetic efficiency is obtained as $\approx$ 8% that can be sufficient to quench the host galaxy, 2) the expected future growth pathway of DOG J1406+0102 would join an over-massive BH trajectory and 3) radio-loud DOGs can provide a significant contribution to the high-energy ($\gtrsim$ 100 TeV) cosmic neutrino background if we assume DOG J1406+0102 as a representative of radio-loud DOGs.

摘要: Which galaxies in the general population turn into active galactic nuclei
(AGN) is a keystone of galaxy formation and evolution. Thanks to SRG/eROSITA's
contiguous 140 square degrees pilot survey field, we constructed a large,
complete, and unbiased soft X-ray flux-limited AGN sample at low redshift

摘要: We construct the eROSITA X-ray catalog of radio galaxies discovered by the
WERGS survey that is made by the cross-matching of the wide-area Subaru/HSC
optical survey and VLA/FIRST 1.4 GHz radio survey. We find 393 eROSITA detected
radio galaxies in the 0.5--2 keV band in the eFEDS field covering 140~deg$^2$.
Thanks to the wide and medium depth eFEDS X-ray survey, the sample contains the
rare and most X-ray luminous radio galaxies above the knee of the X-ray
luminosity function, spanning 4422$. Those obscured
and radio AGN reside in $0.4

摘要: The correlation between the mass of supermassive black holes (SMBHs; $\mathcal{M}_{\rm BH}$) and their host galaxies ($\mathcal{M}_\star$) in the reionization epoch provides valuable constraints on their early growth. High-redshift quasars typically have a $\mathcal{M}_{\rm BH}$/$\mathcal{M}_\star$ ratio significantly elevated in comparison to the local value. However, the degree to which this apparent offset is driven by observational biases is unclear for the most distant quasars. To address this issue, we model the sample selection and measurement biases for a compilation of 20 quasars at $z\sim6$ with host properties based on ALMA observations. We find that the observed distribution of quasars in the $\mathcal{M}_{\rm BH} - \mathcal{M}_\star$ plane can be reproduced by assuming that the underlying SMBH population at $z\sim6$ follows the relationship in the local universe. However, a positive or even a negative evolution in $\mathcal{M}_{\rm BH}$/$\mathcal{M}_\star$ can also explain the data, depending on whether the intrinsic scatter evolves and the strength of various systematic uncertainties. To break these degeneracies, an improvement in the accuracy of mass measurements and an expansion of the current sample to lower $\mathcal{M}_{\rm BH}$ limits are needed. Furthermore, assuming a radiative efficiency of 0.1 and quasar duty cycles estimated from the active SMBH fraction, significant outliers in $\mathcal{M}_{\rm BH}$/$\mathcal{M}_\star$ tend to move toward the local relation given their instantaneous BH growth rate and star formation rate. This may provide evidence for a self-regulated SMBH-galaxy coevolution scenario that is in place at $z\sim6$, with AGN feedback being a possible driver.
