Scientific paper

We are proposing to continue our monitoring the hard state low luminosity AGN NGC 7213 throughout semester 2006OCT, contemporaneously with regular intensive observations in the X-ray band with RXTE. Our goal is to see if an individual AGN can be established to follow the radio:X-ray correlation - with slope +0.7 - which has been established for X-ray binaries, and whose presence in AGN is implied by the recent discovery of 'fundamental planes' of black hole activity. Currently no AGN has been established to show such a correlation, leaving a key piece of the arguments for scale-free 'grand unification' of black holes of all masses untested. This is a unique opportunity to test this paradigm. Initial results from observations in 2006APR are extremely encouraging, hence this request for continuation of the program to cover the entire period of X-ray monitoring.
