Abstract (from CDS):

We study the high energy emission of two active galactic nuclei (AGNs), NGC 4258 and NGC 7213. We directly apply the general-relativistic hot flow model, KERRFLOW, to the archival BeppoSAX, NuSTAR, and Suzaku observations of these objects. Most of these data sets indicate that about 10-20 per cent of the accretion power is used for the direct heating of electrons; however, we find also indications for significant changes of the electron heating efficiency in some cases. Furthermore, all these X-ray data sets indicate rather strongly magnetized flows, with the magnetic field close to the equipartition with the gas pressure. Comparison of the model prediction with the Fermi/LAT data for NGC 7213 allows us to constrain the content of non-thermal protons to at most 10 per cent.
