Abstract (from CDS):

We present new Chandra observations of seven luminous quasars at z > 6.5. Combined with archival Chandra observations of all other known quasars, they form nearly complete X-ray observations of all currently known z ∼ 7 quasars with M1450 < -26.5, except for J0313-1806 at z = 7.642 and J0910-0414 at z = 6.636. Together with existing ground-based near-infrared spectroscopy and Atacama Large Millimeter Array observations, we investigate the correlations between X-ray emission (the X-ray luminosity LX and the optical/UV-to-X-ray spectral slope αOX) and various quasar properties (rest-UV luminosity L_2500 Å_, bolometric luminosity Lbol, C IV blueshift, and infrared luminosity LIR). We find most z > 6.5 quasars follow a similar αOX-L_2500 Å_ relation as z ∼ 1-6 quasars, but also display a large scatter. We find a potential correlation between αOX and the C IV blueshift, suggesting a soft optical/UV-to-X-ray spectral energy distribution shape is frequently associated with fast disk winds. Furthermore, we analyze the X-ray spectrum of 11 quasars at z > 6.5 with Chandra detection, and find that the best-fit photon index, Γ, is 2.41 ± 0.27, which is likely driven by high accretion rates of z > 6.5 quasars. In addition, we find there are no significant correlations between either LX and LIR, nor Lbol and LIR, suggesting no strong correlations between quasar luminosity and star formation luminosity for the most luminous quasars at z > 6.5.
