Abstract:

Stydy of time variable spectra is independept tool to decompose the spectral components in the AGN (Active Galactic Nucleus); direct nuclear emission and relfection component. Since the difference between these two components becomes clear by comparing the behavior below and above 10 keV, hard X-ray study of time variability of AGNs is very important. Here we report the initial results of studies of hard X-ray variability of AGNs (MCG-6-30-15, MCG-5-23-16, NGC 4388, NGC 3516) observed with Suzaku. RMS spectra and flux-flux correlation above 10 keV is derived and discussed.
