EUVE-RXTE simultaneous observations of NGC 4051: variability and   spectrum
  We present timing and spectral analysis of the data collected by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer Satellite (EUVE) for the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051 during 1996. NGC 4051 was observed twice in May 1996 and again in December 1996 for a total of more than 200 ks. The observations were always simultaneous with hard X-ray observations conducted with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The EUVE light curves are extremely variable during each observation, with the maximum variability of more than a factor of 15 from peak to minimum. We detected signal in the EUVE spectrograph in the 75-100 A range which is well fitted by absorbed power law models. We illustrate the results of our spectral and detailed power spectrum analysis performed on EUVE data and the comparison with RXTE lightcurves and discuss the constraint we can place on the mass of the central object and on the size of the emitting region.
