No Galaxy-scale [C ii] Fast Outflow in the z = 6.72 Red Quasar HSC J1205–0000 by Mahoshi Sawamura, Takuma Izumi, Kouichiro Nakanishi, Takeshi Okuda, Michael A. Strauss, Masatoshi Imanishi, Yoshiki Matsuoka, Yoshiki Toba, Hideki Umehata, Takuya Hashimoto, Shunsuke Baba, Tomotsugu Goto, Toshihiro Kawaguchi, Kotaro Kohno, Dragan Salak, Taiki Kawamuro, Kazushi Iwasawa, Masafusa Onoue, Chien-Hsiu Lee, Kianhong Lee

“…Thus there is no evidence for a host galaxy-scale fast [C  ii ] outflow, despite the fact that J1205–0000 has fast nuclear ionized outflows seen in the rest-frame UV. We explore several scenarios for this discrepancy (e.g., the early phase of AGN feedback, reliability of the [C  ii ] line as a tracer of outflows), and we claim that it is still too early to conclude that there is no significant negative AGN feedback on star formation in this red quasar.…”
