NuSTAR Observations of a Varying-flux Quasar in the Epoch of Reionization

NuSTAR Observations of a Varying-flux Quasar in the Epoch of Reionization

With enough X-ray flux to be detected in a 160 s scan by SRG/eROSITA, the z = 6.19 quasar CFHQS J142952+544717 is, by far, the most luminous X-ray source known at z  > 6. We present deep (245 ks) NuSTAR observations of this source; with ∼180 net counts in the combined observations, CFHQS J142952+...
