cds-question@unistra.fractive-galactic-nucleiredshiftedspectroscopyWe present the rest-frame optical spectral properties of 155 luminous quasars at 3.3<z<6.4 taken with the AKARI space telescope, including the first detection of the H{alpha} emission line as far out as z~6. We extend the scaling relation between the rest-frame optical continuum and the line luminosity of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to the high-luminosity, high-redshift regime that has rarely been probed before. Remarkably, we find that a single log-linear relation can be applied to the 5100{AA} and H{alpha} AGN luminosities over a wide range of luminosity (10^42^<L_5100_<10^47^ergs/s) or redshift (0<z<6), suggesting that the physical mechanism governing this relation is unchanged from z=0 to 6, over five decades in luminosity. Similar scaling relations are found between the optical and the UV continuum luminosities or line widths. Applying the scaling relations to the H{beta} black hole (BH) mass (M_BH_) estimator of local AGNs, we derive the M_BH_ estimators based on the H{alpha}, MgII, and CIV lines, finding that the UV-line-based masses are overall consistent with the Balmer-line-based, but with a large intrinsic scatter of 0.40dex for the CIV estimates. Our 43 M_BH_ estimates from H{alpha} confirm the existence of BHs as massive as ~10^10^M_{sun}_ out to z~5 and provide a secure footing for previous results from MgII-line-based studies that a rapid M_BH_ growth has occurred in the early universe.2015ApJ...806..109Jhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/806/109CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/319 : UKIDSS-DR9 LAS, GCS and DXS Surveys (Lawrence+ 2012)V/139 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 9 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2012)VII/260 : The SDSS-DR7 quasar catalog (Schneider+, 2010)J/ApJS/216/17 : AKARI 2.5-5um spectra of nearby Type-1 AGNs (Kim+, 2015)J/ApJ/779/104 : Luminous dust-poor SDSS QSOs at z<4.5 (Jun+, 2013)J/ApJ/773/14 : BOSS: quasar luminosity function (Ross+, 2013)J/ApJ/768/105 : z~5 QSO LF from SDSS Stripe 82 (McGreer+, 2013)J/ApJ/753/125 : NIR spectroscopy follow-up of 60 SDSS-DR7 QSOs (Shen+, 2012)J/ApJS/194/45 : QSO properties from SDSS-DR7 (Shen+, 2011)J/ApJ/699/800 : Mass functions of active black holes (Vestergaard+, 2009)J/ApJ/699/782 : High-redshift SDSS-DR5 QSOs (Diamond-Stanic+, 2009)J/ApJ/680/169 : SDSS DR5 virial black hole masses (Shen+, 2008)J/ApJS/175/116 : SNU bright quasar survey (SNUQSO) (Lee+, 2008)J/ApJ/666/757 : CIV 1549{AA} emission line in AGNs (Sulentic+, 2007)J/AJ/131/2766 : Quasar luminosity function from SDSS-DR3 (Richards+, 2006)J/ApJ/640/579 : Near-infrared spectra of 27 SDSS quasars (Glikman+, 2006)J/ApJ/613/682 : AGN central masses & broad-line region sizes (Peterson+, 2004)J/ApJS/97/347 : Source Catalog, PMN Equatorial Survey (Griffith+ 1995)J/AJ/109/1498 : Large Bright Quasar Survey VI (LBQS) (Hewett+, 1995)J/ApJ/269/352 : Quasar evolution (Schmidt+, 1983)http://www.sdss3.org/ : SDSS-III home pagehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/806/109https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/806/109http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/806/109https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/806/109https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/806/109http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/806/109GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/806/109/table3 (Continuum and line-based properties of the sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/806/109/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/806/109/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/806/109/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true0.664179225.84300830.0055555555555555566/4101 4144 4507 4662 5016 5055 5306 5333 5451 5458 5563 5591 5630 5891 5906 5923 5970 5987 6010 6062 6205 6503 6506 6576 6647 7256 7301 7338 7459 7522 7942 9195 9227 9234 9235 9285 9350 9373 9412 9468 9615 9742 9777 9831 9855 9865 9879 9905 9966 9988 10027 10121 10193 10213 10336 10389 10520 10567 10607 10609 10649 10656 10664 10692 10704 10734 10756 10839 11080 11084 11104 11150 11160 11180 11189 11271 11299 11304 11308 11317 11319 11321 11363 11489 11605 11636 11823 15278 16405 16589 16666 16831 17267 17516 17554 17561 17662 17840 18007 18032 18088 18407 18466 18499 18677 18857 19676 20034 20273 23052 25540 25817 25986 26015 26037 26213 26221 26239 26280 26567 26881 27041 27161 27213 27473 27498 27663 27833 27834 28419 28614 28615 31291 32438 33597 33746 34262 34271 34809 34850 35002 35241 35764 35952 36466 36766 36778 36792 37533 46390https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/806/109?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJ/806/109/table3Continuum and line-based properties of the sample_RAPositions from SIMBAD (right ascension part)degpos.eq.ra;meta.mainrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
