This work aims at studying the $M_{BH}-M_{dyn}$ relation of a sample of $2 5-10$) and the gas kinematics is spatially resolved and dominated by ordered rotation. The estimated dynamical masses place $6$ out of $10$ quasars above the local relation yielding to a $M_{BH}/M_{dyn}$ ratios $\sim10\times$ higher than those estimated in low-$z$ galaxies. On the other hand, we found that $4$ quasars at $z\sim 4-6$ have dynamical-to-BH mass ratios consistent with what is observed in early-type galaxies…

Limits to Rest-frame Ultraviolet Emission from Far-infrared-luminous z ≃ 6 Quasar Hosts
We report on a Hubble Space Telescope search for rest-frame ultraviolet emission from the host galaxies of five far-infrared-luminous $z\simeq{}6$ quasars and the $z=5.85$ hot-dust free quasar SDSS…
The host galaxies of z = 7 quasars: predictions from the BlueTides simulation
We examine the properties of the host galaxies of $z=7$ quasars using the large volume, cosmological hydrodynamical simulation BlueTides. We find that the 10 most massive black holes and the 191…
Kiloparsec-scale ALMA Imaging of [C ii] and Dust Continuum Emission of 27 Quasar Host Galaxies at z ∼ 6
We present a study of the [CII] 158micron line and underlying far-infrared (FIR) continuum emission of 27 quasar host galaxies at z~6, traced by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at a…
The physical properties and impact of AGN outflows from high to low redshift
Abstract Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) on their host galaxies, in the form of gas outflows capable of quenching star formation, is considered a major player in galaxy evolution. However,…
The Kinematics of z ≳ 6 Quasar Host Galaxies
We explore the kinematics of 27 z ≳ 6 quasar host galaxies observed in [C ii] 158 μm ([C ii]) emission with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at a resolution of ≈025. We find that nine…
ALPINE: A Large Survey to Understand Teenage Galaxies
A multiwavelength study of galaxies is important to understand their formation and evolution. Only in the recent past, thanks to the Atacama Large (Sub) Millimeter Array (ALMA), were we able to study…
A dusty compact object bridging galaxies and quasars at cosmic dawn.
Understanding how super-massive black holes form and grow in the early Universe has become a major challenge1,2 since it was discovered that luminous quasars existed only 700 million years after the…
On the Connection between Supermassive Black Holes and Galaxy Growth in the Reionization Epoch
The correlation between the mass of supermassive black holes (SMBHs; BH ) and their host galaxies ( ⋆ ) in the reionization epoch provides valuable constraints on their early growth. High-redshift…
ALMA 200 pc Imaging of a z ∼ 7 Quasar Reveals a Compact, Disk-like Host Galaxy
We present 0.″035 resolution (∼200 pc) imaging of the 158 μm [C ii] line and the underlying dust continuum of the z = 6.9 quasar J234833.34–305410.0. The 18 hour Atacama Large…
Host galaxies of high-redshift quasars: SMBH growth and feedback
The properties of quasar-host galaxies might be determined by the growth and feedback of their supermassive black holes (SMBHs, 108−10 M⊙). We investigate such connection with a suite of…
