2 Overview MCG z = F 2 10keV = ergcm 2 s 1 log M BH M =8.07 ± 0.02 F keV = ergcm 2 s 1 Bianchi et al., 2010 Suzaku+Swift BAT best-fit model in the whole kev band, and contour plot (Bianchi et al., 2010) Suzaku + Swift BAT (Bianchi et al., 2010; Mantovani et al., 2016): relativistic FeKα line + narrow component with no associated reflection component + Fe XXVI line emission; ASCA and OSSE (Grandi 1998): absorbed power law, Γ=1.73 & Ec 250 kev + reflection component + cold iron line; +318 BeppoSAX (Perola 2000): Γ=1.84 ± 0.05 & E c = kev; XMM-Newton (Matt et al., 2006): lack of a soft excess + a large reflection component + narrow iron line + Fe XXVI line emission. z = NGC 6814 F 2 10keV = ergcm 2 s 1 log M BH M = F keV = ergcm 2 s 1 Walton et al., kev XIS light curve for the Sukazu observation (Walton et al., 2013) INTEGRAL (Malizia et al., 2014): quite flat spectrum Γ=1.68 & Ec 190 kev; XMM-Newton (Ricci et al., 2014): FeKα line with EW 84 ev; Suzaku (Walton et al., 2013): no soft excess, fairly hard photon index Γ=1.53, variability.
3 NuSTAR Observation MCG NGC ks observation in the NuSTAR AO2 (on 2016, August 19) 150 ks observation in the NuSTAR AO2 (on 2016, July, 04) Why? To investigate the Comptonization mechanisms acting in the innermost regions of AGN and which are believed to be responsible for the X-ray emission; NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescopic Array) works in the band 3-79 kev; First focusing hard X-ray (10-79 kev) telescope in orbit; ~100 times more sensitive in the kev band than any previous mission working in this band;
4 AGN in X-Rays X-RAYS EMISSION: In AGN the primary X-ray emission is due to Inverse Compton by electrons in a hot corona of the UV/soft X-ray disc photons. PRIMARY POWER-LAW: Power-law with photon index and cutoff energy directly related to the temperature and to the optical depth of the coronal plasma. Most popular Comptonization models imply: Ec=2-3 kte kev 2 (Photons cm -2 s -1 kev -1 ) Ec=50 kev Ec=100 kev Ec=150 kev counts per unit energy (arb) Incident power-law Reynolds et al., 1996 REPROCESSED EMISSION: Energy (kev) Typical X-ray features of the reflection by cold circumnuclear material include intense Fe Kα 6.4 kev and the associated Compton reflection continuum ~30 kev. Energy (kev)
5 Analysis MCG NGC 6814 MCG MCG NGC 6814 NGC FPMA FPMB FPMA FPMB Both sources show variability in their light curves but since no significant spectral variation is found in the ratio between the and 3-10 kev count rates we used time-averaged spectra in our analysis.

19 Conclusion Cutoff measurements; Relativistic broadened FeKα line with disk reflection component; Narrow FeKα line due to a large iron overabundance, or alternatively produced in distant Compton thin material; Estimated Eddington ratio η=0.01 for MCG and η=0.09 for NGC 6814; Both sources are located against the pair runaway line like most of the sources among those analyzed by Fabian et al.; The observation of the two sources could helps to understand the physics of the corona-accretion disk system and its geometry, enriching our sample; Next step: fitting with the cutoff lower limits.
