Paper abstract bibtex We investigate quasar outflows at \$z {\textbackslash}geq 6\$ by performing zoom-in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. By employing the SPH code GADGET-3, we zoom in the \$2 R_\{200\}\$ region around a \$2 {\textbackslash}times 10{\textasciicircum}\{12\} M_\{{\textbackslash}odot\}\$ halo at \$z = 6\$, inside a \$(500 {\textasciitilde} \{{\textbackslash}rm Mpc\}){\textasciicircum}3\$ comoving volume. We compare the results of our AGN runs with a control simulation in which only stellar/SN feedback is considered. Seeding \$10{\textasciicircum}5 M_\{{\textbackslash}odot\}\$ BHs at the centers of \$10{\textasciicircum}\{9\} M_\{{\textbackslash}odot\}\$ halos, we find the following results. BHs accrete gas at the Eddington rate over \$z = 9 - 6\$. At \$z = 6\$, our most-massive BH has grown to \$M_\{{\textbackslash}rm BH\} = 4 {\textbackslash}times 10{\textasciicircum}9 M_\{{\textbackslash}odot\}\$. Fast (\$v_\{r\} {\textgreater} 1000\$ km/s), powerful (\${\textbackslash}dot\{M\}_\{{\textbackslash}rm out\} {\textbackslash}sim 2000 M_\{{\textbackslash}odot\}\$/yr) outflows of shock-heated low-density gas form at \$z {\textbackslash}sim 7\$, and propagate up to hundreds kpc. Star-formation is quenched over \$z = 8 - 6\$, and the total SFR (SFR surface density near the galaxy center) is reduced by a factor of \$5\$ (\$1000\$). We analyse the relative contribution of multiple physical process: (i) disrupting cosmic filamentary cold gas inflows, (ii) reducing central gas density, (iii) ejecting gas outside the galaxy; and find that AGN feedback has the following effects at \$z = 6\$. The inflowing gas mass fraction is reduced by \${\textbackslash}sim 12 {\textbackslash}%\$, the high-density gas fraction is lowered by \${\textbackslash}sim 13 {\textbackslash}%\$, and \${\textbackslash}sim 20 {\textbackslash}%\$ of the gas outflows at a speed larger than the escape velocity (\$500\$ km/s). We conclude that quasar-host galaxies at \$z {\textbackslash}geq 6\$ are accreting non-negligible amount of cosmic gas, nevertheless AGN feedback quenches their star formation dominantly by powerful outflows ejecting gas out of the host galaxy halo.
