Scientific paper

We present time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of several bright AGNs, performed with Chandra, XMM-Newton and Suzaku, showing that absorption variability on time scales of hours to days is common among AGNs. An analysis of the observational properties of these occultation events strongly support a scenario where the clumpy X-ray absorber and the Broad Emission Line (BEL) clouds are one and the same. Therefore, X-ray spectroscopy can be a powerful way to determine the physical parameters (density, size, shape, ionization state) of BEL clouds.
