Powerful Nuclear Outflows and Circumgalactic Medium Shocks Driven by the Most Luminous Known Obscured Quasar in the Universe

Powerful Nuclear Outflows and Circumgalactic Medium Shocks Driven by the Most Luminous Known Obscured Quasar in the Universe

We report integral field spectroscopy observations with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph on board the James Webb Space Telescope, targeting the 60 kpc environment surrounding the most luminous obscured quasar known at z = 4.6. We detect ionized gas filaments on 40 kpc scales connecting a network of me...
