Accurate dust temperature and star formation rate in the most luminous $z>6$ quasar in the HYPerluminous quasars at the Epoch of ReionizatION (HYPERION) sample

Abstract

We present ALMA Band 9 continuum observation of the ultraluminous quasi-stellar object (QSO) SDSS J0100+2802, providing a $\sim 10\sigma$ detection at $\sim 670$ GHz. SDSS J0100+2802 is the brightest QSO with the most massive super massive black hole (SMBH) known at $z>6$, and we study its dust spectral energy distribution in order to determine the dust properties and the star formation rate (SFR) of its host-galaxy. We obtain the most accurate estimate so far of the temperature, mass and emissivity index of the dust, having $T_{\mathrm{dust}}=48.4\pm 2.3$ K, $M_{\mathrm{dust}}=(2.29\pm 0.83)\times 10^7$ M${}_{\odot }$, $\beta =2.63\pm 0.23$. This allows us to measure the SFR with the smallest statistical error for this QSO, SFR$=265\pm 32{\mathrm{M}}_{\odot }\mathrm{y}{\mathrm{r}}^{-1}$. Our results enable us to evaluate the relative growth of the SMBH and host galaxy of J0100+2802, finding that the SMBH is dominating the process of BH-galaxy growth in this QSO at $z=6.327$, when the Universe was $865$ Myr old. Such unprecedented constraints on the host galaxy SFR and dust temperature can only be obtained through high frequency observations, and highlight the importance of ALMA Band 9 to obtain a robust overview of the build-up of the first quasars' host galaxies at $z>6$.
