ABSTRACT | |
The growth of Supermassive Black Holes powering luminous quasars at the Epoch of Reionization (EoR, z>6) is a hot topic in astrophysics. These quasars are being characterized with large multiwavelength campaigns with current flagship observatories. X-ray observations performed so far provided mostly < 15 counts in 0.5-10 keV spectra and thus a poor characterization of their properties. We propose HYPERION, a 2.3 Ms Multi-Year Heritage programme, to dramatically improve data quality to 100 counts for 15 luminous quasars at EoR, delivering unprecedented constraints on nuclear properties, accretion, ejection, disc/corona complex. It will nicely complement observations at other wavelengths enabling meaningful X-ray spectroscopic studies at EoR to begin. |
