Radio Emission From a $z =$ 10.1 Black Hole in UHZ1

Understand

The recent discovery of a 4 $\times$ 10$^7$ M$_{\odot}$ black hole (BH) in UHZ1 at $z =$ 10.3, just 450 Myr after the big bang, suggests that the seeds of the first quasars may have been direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) from the collapse of supermassive primordial stars at $z \sim$ 20.

• This object was identified in James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRcam and Chandra X-ray data, but recent studies suggest that radio emission from such a BH should also be visible to the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) and the next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA).
• Here, we present estimates of radio flux densities for UHZ1 from 0.1 - 10 GHz, and find that SKA and ngVLA could detect it with integration times of 10 - 100 hr and just 1 - 10 hr, respectively.
• It may be possible to see this object with VLA now with longer integration times.
