The Spectral Energy Distribution of the High-Z Blazar Q0906+693

Abstract

We describe further observations of QSO J0906+6930, a z=5.48 blazar likely to be detected in gamma-rays. New radio and X-ray data place significant constraints on any kpc-scale extension of the VLBA-detected jet. Improved optical spectroscopy detects absorption from an intervening galaxy at z=1.849 and raise the possibility that this distant, bright source is lensed. We combine the new data into an improved SED for the blazar core and comment on the Compton keV-GeV flux component.
