Abstract
Despite the increasing prevalence of RL sources at cosmic noon, our understanding of the underlying physics that governs the accretion disc outflows in these particular sources and its dissimilarity with RQ quasars remains somewhat limited. Disentangling the real impact of the radio-loudness and accretion on the outflow parameters remains a challenge to this day. We present 10 new spectra of high-z high-L quasars, combined with previous data at both high and low z and evaluate the role of the feedback from RL and RQ AGN. The final high-z high-L sample consists of a combination of 60 quasars from our ISAAC and the Hamburg-ESO surveys. The low-z sample has 84 quasars with optical and FOS reanalyzed data. We perform a multicomponent analysis of optical and UV emission line profiles along the quasar MS, and provide a relation to estimate the outflow main parameters in both the BLR and NLR through the analysis of the [OIII]5007 and CIV1549 emission lines. High-ionization lines usually present a significant asymmetry towards the blue especially in RQ that is strong evidence of outflow motions. In the ISAAC sample, 72% of the quasars present significant O[III] outflows, with c(1/2) ~ -250 km/s. RL tend to present slightly more modest blueshifted components. The behavior of [OIII]5007 mirrors the one of CIV1549, with blueshift amplitudes between the two lines showing a high degree of correlation that appears unaffected by the presence of radio emission. Both RL and RQ AGN outflow parameters at high L appear in the range needed to provide feedback effects on their host galaxies. Both high- and low-z RL quasars exhibit smaller outflows compared to RQ, suggesting a potential role of radioloudness in mitigating outflow effects. Nevertheless, the radio-loudness effect on the AGN feedback is much less significant than the one of accretion that emerges as the main driver of the nuclear outflows.
