Scientific paper

We propose for exploratory observations of 13 low luminosity AGNs with candidate intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs). These objects were discovered in the SDSS. The optical line width-luminosity relation implies black hole masses of these AGNs in the range of 1e4-1e6 Msun. None of the 13 objects has been detected in the RASS, and their X-ray nature has remained unexplored. These AGNs are expected to show most rapid X-ray variability and hottest accretion disk emission among all radio-quiet AGNs. They are the best candidates to study the effect of a relatively low mass black hole. Our proposed observations will characterize their X-ray emission for the first time, extend their spectral energy distributions and investigate the nature of IMBHs in galactic nuclei.
