Abstract



Relativistic jets are thought to play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of massive galaxies and supermassive black holes. Blazars, which are quasars with jets aligned along our line of sight, provide insights into the jetted population and have been observed up to redshifts of z = 6.1. Here, we report the discovery and multi-wavelength characterization of the blazar VLASS J041009.05-013919.88 at z = 7 (age of the Universe similar to 750 Myr), which is powered by a similar to 7 x 10(8) M-circle dot black hole. The presence of this high-redshift blazar implies a large population of similar but unaligned jetted sources in the early Universe. Our findings suggest two possible scenarios. In one, the jet in J0410-0139 is intrinsically low power but appears highly luminous due to relativistic beaming, suggesting that most ultraviolet-bright quasars at this redshift host jets. Alternatively, if J0410-0139 represents an intrinsically powerful radio source, there should be hundreds to thousands of radio-quiet quasars at z approximate to 7 with properties like those of J0410-0139, a prediction in tension with observed quasar densities based on their ultraviolet luminosity function. These results support the hypothesis that the rapid growth of black holes in the early Universe may be driven by jet-enhanced or obscured super-Eddington accretion, potentially playing a key role in forming massive black holes during the epoch of reionization.

We thank R. Simcoe for conducting the Magellan/FIRE observation in September 2021. We thank M. Habouzit and B. Vaidya for their insightful discussions and feedback on this paper. C.M. acknowledges support from Fondecyt de Iniciaci\u00F3n (Grant No. 11240336) and ANID BASAL (Project FB210003). Y.K. thanks the support of the German Space Agency (DLR; Programme LEGACY 50OR2303). J.-T.S. is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation; Project No. 518006966). A.P. acknowledges support from Fondazione Cariplo (Grant No. 2020-0902). We acknowledge using the DELS, NVSS and VLASS surveys to identify the quasar. This work is based on data collected with the VLT (Programme 106.20WQ.001), the NTT (Programmes 106.20WJ.001, 105.203B.001 and 110.23RN.001), the LBTT (Programme MPIA-2021B-003), the Keck Telescope, the Magellan Baade Telescope, the VLA (Programme VLA/21B-087), the VLBA (Programme VLBA/21B-190), XMM-Newton (Observation ID 08916) and Chandra (Sequence No. 704639). To construct the SED of z\u2009\u2248\u20091 blazars shown in Fig. , we use SED builder ( https://tools.ssdc.asi.it/SED/ ). Thus, part of this work is based on archival data, software or online services provided by the Space Science Data Center, ASI. We are grateful for the support provided by the staff of these observatories. We recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Maunakea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain.
