Scientific paper

The results of an accurate harmonic analysis of five EXOSAT observations of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 6814 carried out over a 2 year period are presented. The detection of the 12,200 s periodic signal with its rich harmonic structure, during the longest (approximately 1 day) observation is confirmed. A strong peak at 0.0004 Hz is found in the composed power spectrum of all the observations, revealing that this phenomenon is characteristic of the X-ray emission from this source at least over 2 years. The power spectrum of the longest observation has a continuous component similar to those observed in other Seyfert galaxies.
