41 So What - the AGN structure Strong X-ray variability on time scales of months and hours Two distinct spectral components: one emerging at E < 6 kev (months), the other at E > 1.5 kev (hours). A moderately ionized absorber is varying on time scales of months. A highly ionized absorber is varying on time scales of hours. WE ARE STARTING TO PROBE THE DYNAMICS OF THE INNER ACCRETION/EJECTION FLOW IN AGN The observed α ox is varying as well. Is the wind seeing the variations at E ~ 6-10 kev or at E ~ 2 kev?
