We present deep (265 ks) Chandra X-ray observations of PSO J352.4034-15.3373, a quasar at z = 5.831 that, with a radio-to-optical flux ratio of R > 1000, is one of the radio-loudest quasars in the early universe and is the only quasar with observed extended radio jets of kiloparsec scale at z greater than or similar to 6. Modeling the X-ray spectrum of the quasar with a power law, we find a best fit of Gamma = 1.99(-0.28)(+0.29), leading to an X-ray luminosity of L2-10 = 1.26(-0.33)(+0.45) x 10(45) erg s(-1) and an X-ray to UV brightness ratio of alpha(OX) = -1.45 +/- -0.11. We identify a diffuse structure 50 kpc (similar to 8 '') to the NW of the quasar along the jet axis that corresponds to a 3 sigma enhancement in the angular density of emission and can be ruled out as a background fluctuation with a probability of P = 0.9985. While with few detected photons the spectral fit of the structure is uncertain, we find that it has a luminosity of L2-10 similar to 10(44) erg s(-1). These observations therefore potentially represent the most distant quasar jet yet seen in X-rays. We find no evidence for excess X-ray emission where the previously reported radio jets are seen (which have an overall linear extent of 0.'' 28), and a bright X-ray point source located along the jet axis to the SE is revealed by optical and NIR imaging to not be associated with the quasar.

| This work was enabled by observations made from the Keck and Gemini-North telescopes, located within the Maunakea Science Reserve and adjacent to the summit of Maunakea. The authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Maunakea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain and are grateful for the privilege of observing the universe from a place that is unique in both its astronomical quality and its cultural significance. |
| The scientific results reported in this article are based on observations made by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This research has made use of software provided by the Chandra X-ray Center (CXC) in the application package CIAO. Based on observations obtained at the international Gemini Observatory (GN-2020B-FT-101), a program of NSFs NOIRLab, which is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation on behalf of the Gemini Observatory partnership: the National Science Foundation (United States), National Research Council (Canada), Agencia Nacional de Investigacion y Desarrollo (Chile), Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion (Argentina), Ministerio da Ciencia, Tecnologia, Inovacoes e Comunicacoes (Brazil), and Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (Republic of Korea). Some of the data presented herein were obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory, which is operated as a scientific partnership among the California Institute of Technology, the University of California, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Observatory was made possible by the generous financial support of the W. M. Keck Foundation. |
