Probing the Hard X–ray Properties of High-redshift Radio-quiet Quasars with Asca
This paper reports the X-ray spectral analysis of 5 high-redshift (z≥2) radio-quiet quasars observed by ASCA. A simple power law continuum plus cold Galactic absorption model well fits all the spectra (tipically between ∼ 2–30 keV in the sources frame). Neither the X–ray spectral hardening, attributed to a reflection component and observed in Seyfert galaxies, nor the excess absorption previous...
متن کاملXmm-newton Observations of Two High Redshift Quasars: Rx J1028–0844 and Br 0351–1034
We report the results of XMM-Newton observations of two high redshift quasars, one radioloud, RX J1028.6–0844 (z=4.276) and one radio-quiet, BR 0351–1034 (z=4.351). We find that the evidence for strong excess absorption towards RX J1028–0844 is marginal at best, contrary to previous claims. The superior sensitivity and broader, softer energy range of XMM-Newton (0.210 keV) allows better determi...
متن کاملXMM-Newton observations of four high-z quasars
We present the results of XMM-Newton observations of four high-z quasars, two radio-loud and two radio-quiet. One of the radio-loud objects, PKS 2126−158, clearly shows absorption in excess of the galactic value as claimed before from ASCA and ROSAT observations. For PKS 2149−306 the evidence for excess absorption is only marginal in contrast to previous results. The location of the absorber in...
متن کاملX-ray Spectra of a large sample of Quasars with ASCA
The results from an X-ray spectral analysis of a large sample of quasars, observed with ASCA, are presented. The sample was selected to include all ASCA observations of quasars, with z > 0.05 and MV < −23.0, available up to January 1998. The data reduction leaves 62 quasars, 35 radio-loud and 27 radio-quiet, suitable for spectral analysis. Differences are found between the radio-quiet quasars (...

We report on our XMM observations of the high redshift quasars BR 2237–0607 (z=4.558) and BR 0351–1034 (z=4.351). We also report on XMM observations of 19 other z> 4 objects available in the public archive of which 14 were detected. We find that the optical to X-ray spectral index αox is correlated with the luminosity density at 2500Å, but does not show a correlation with redshift, consistent w...
