Scientific paper

Water megamaser radio emission originates from the innermost parsec(s) of active galactic nuclei (AGN). X-ray photons are produced in regions even closer to the supermassive central object. Combining the information provided by these two tracers has the potential to substantially improve our understanding of the AGN physics. Correlations between X-ray and water maser emission in AGN have been reported, however, the lack of systematic studies affects the confidence level of these results. Here we propose to complete the approved XMM project with Proposal ID 065480, aimed at measuring column densities in a sample of five AGN hosting H2O maser emission, thus shedding light on the physics of their active nuclei and improving the statistics of the aforementioned studies.
