摘要：

We present the X-ray properties of a large, optically selected sample of quasars from a cross-correlation of the SDSS DR5 quasar catalogue and the X-ray serendipitous source catalogue 2XMMi. We consider the dependence of photon index on X-ray luminosity and redshift. We find evidence for a correlation of photon index and redshift (decreasing photon indices for higher redshift sources) and propose that this may be due to a Compton reflection component being redshifted into the XMM-Newton observed energy band. We show that this apparent trend can be removed when the spectra are analysed over a reduced range that would exclude any contribution from such a reflection component.
