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.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
