Quasar Feedback in the Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy F11119+3257:
  Connecting the Accretion Disk Wind with the Large-Scale Molecular Outflow
  In Tombesi et al. (2015), we reported the first direct evidence for a quasar
accretion disk wind driving a massive molecular outflow. The target was
F11119+3257, an ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) with unambiguous type-1
quasar optical broad emission lines. The energetics of the accretion disk wind
and molecular outflow were found to be consistent with the predictions of
quasar feedback models where the molecular outflow is driven by a hot
energy-conserving bubble inflated by the inner quasar accretion disk wind.
However, this conclusion was uncertain because the energetics were estimated
from the optically thick OH 119 um transition profile observed with Herschel.
Here, we independently confirm the presence of the molecular outflow in
F11119+3257, based on the detection of broad wings in the CO(1-0) profile
derived from ALMA observations. The broad CO(1-0) line emission appears to be
spatially extended on a scale of at least ~7 kpc from the center. Mass outflow
rate, momentum flux, and mechanical power of (80-200) R_7^{-1} M_sun/yr,
(1.5-3.0) R_7^{-1} L_AGN/c, and (0.15-0.40)% R_7^{-1} L_AGN are inferred from
these data, assuming a CO-to-H_2 conversion factor appropriate for a ULIRG (R_7
is the radius of the outflow normalized to 7 kpc and L_AGN is the AGN
luminosity). These rates are time-averaged over a flow time scale of 7x10^6
yrs. They are similar to the OH-based rates time-averaged over a flow time
scale of 4x10^5 yrs, but about a factor 4 smaller than the local
("instantaneous"; <10^5 yrs) OH-based estimates cited in Tombesi et al. The
implications of these new results are discussed in the context of time-variable
quasar-mode feedback and galaxy evolution. The need for an energy-conserving
bubble to explain the molecular outflow is also re-examined.
