Popis: We report exploratory Chandra observations of the ultraluminous quasar SDSS J010013.02+280225.8 at redshift 6.30. The quasar is clearly detected by Chandra with a possible component of extended emission. The rest-frame 2-10 keV luminosity is 9.0(+4.5)(+9.1) x 10(45) erg s(-1) with an inferred photon index of G = 3.03(-0.70)(+0.78). This quasar is X-ray bright, with an inferred X-ray-to-optical flux ratio alpha(ox) = -1.22(-0.05)(+0.07), higher than the values found in other quasars of comparable ultraviolet luminosity. The properties inferred from this exploratory observation indicate that this ultraluminous quasar might be growing with super-Eddington accretion and probably viewed with a small inclination angle. Deep X-ray observations will help to probe the plausible extended emission and better constrain the spectral features for this ultraluminous quasar.
