Chandra and XMM-Newton Observations of the Highest Redshift Quasars: X-rays from the Dawn of the Modern Universe
arXiv:astro-ph/0203511
Abstract
We review X-ray studies of the highest redshift (z > 4) quasars, focusing on recent advances enabled largely by the capabilities of Chandra and XMM-Newton. Included are discussions of basic X-ray population studies, X-ray spectroscopy, high-redshift AGN in X-ray surveys, and future prospects.
