Description:
This project will study a luminous quasar, a galaxy with an accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) in its center, located far away and observed at a time when the Universe was just 800 million years old. The goal is to investigate how powerful winds and radiation from central SMBH influence the physical condition of the host galaxy. It has been long believed that such accreting SMBHs play a significant role in shaping the evolution of their host galaxies, yet the exact mechanisms remain largely shrouded in mystery. This project will map, for the first time, the physical conditions of the gas around the central SMBH and reveal its impact on the host galaxy. The results from this project will provide valuable insights into the galaxy formation and evolutions in the early Universe.
