Investigating the interplay between the coronal properties and the hard X-ray variability of active galactic nuclei with NuSTAR

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are extremely variable in the X-ray band down to very short timescales. However, the driver behind the X-ray variability is still poorly understood. Previous results suggest that the hot corona responsible for the primary Comptonized emission observed in AGN is expected to play an important role... Show more
