contents We present millimeter observations of the host galaxy of the most distant blazar known, VLASSJ041009.05-013919.88 (hereafter J0410-0139) at z=7, using ALMA and NOEMA observations. The ALMA data reveal a 2e42 erg/s [CII] 158um emission line at z=6.9964 with a [CII]-inferred star-formation rate of 58 Msun/yr. We estimate a dynamical mass of 4.6e9 Msun, implying a black hole mass to host a dynamical mass ratio of 0.15. The 238 GHz continuum (rest-frame IR) decreased by ~33% from the NOEMA to the ALMA observations taken ~10 months apart. The VLA 3-10 GHz radio flux densities showed a ~37% decrease in a similar time frame, suggesting a causal connection. At face value, J0410-0139 would have the lowest [CII]-to-IR luminosity ratio of a z>5.7 quasar reported to date (~1e-4). However, if only <20% of the measured IR luminosity were due to thermal emission from dust, the [CII]-to-IR luminosity ratio would be typical of (U)LIRGS, and the star formation rates derived from [CII] and IR luminosities would be consistent. These results provide further evidence that synchrotron emission significantly contributes to the observed rest-frame IR emission of J0410-0139, similar to what has been reported in some radio-loud AGN at z<1.
