Restless Quasar Activity: From BeppoSAX to Chandra and XMM-Newton

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We briefly review some of the progress made in the last decade in the study of the X-ray properties of the quasar population from the luminous, local objects observed by BeppoSAX to the large, rapidly increasing population of z>4 quasars detected by Chandra and XMM-Newton in recent years.
