| contents | JWST has revealed an overabundance of very bright, blue galaxies at z>10, raising fundamental questions about how star formation and feedback operate at Cosmic Dawn. We present new JWST/NIRSpec MSA PRISM/CLEAR spectroscopy of JADES-GS-z14-0 (z=14.18) obtained with the JADES and OASIS programmes. While the rest-frame UV continuum flux level and shape are consistent between the two datasets, the OASIS spectrum shows a 10$σ$ detection of the CIII]$λ\lambda1907,1909$ emission line, with a luminosity three times higher than that measured in the JADES data. This difference is naturally explained by the offset in shutter placement between OASIS and JADES, implying that the CIII] emission is spatially displaced by $\sim400$ pc from the stellar continuum. The non-detection of CIII] in NIRCam medium-band imaging indicates that the emitting region is extended on scales $\gtrsim165$ pc, with a surface brightness below the detection threshold. Interpreting this diffuse, carbon-enriched gas as the result of ongoing or past outflows, we infer a mass outflow rate of $\dot{M}_{\rm out}\sim160~{\rm M_\odot\,yr^{-1}}$. We compare it with the star-formation rate (SFR) and derive a mass-loading factor of $η= \dot{M}_{\rm out}/{\rm SFR} = 4-15$, suggesting highly efficient feedback at very early times. Finally, we show that, if outflows are one of the mechanisms regulating star formation in JADES-GS-z14-0, the instantaneous star-formation efficiency in massive haloes is constrained to $ε_\star\lesssim0.08$. These results support a scenario in which outflows play a crucial role during the earliest phases of galaxy formation. Comparing our results with the current theoretical galaxy formation model, we conclude that a combination of moderate star-formation efficiency and reduced dust attenuation can account for the emergence of luminous galaxies at the highest redshifts. |
