Abstract
We describe the spectral properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) using TCAF. TCAF is two component advective flow solution based on proper hydrodynamics and radiative transfer equations. It is established that this is very successful to study stellar-mass black holes. Here we show that it is applicable for AGNs as well. We present the X-ray properties of AGNs and discuss our model with observational data of two nearby well known AGNs: NGC 4151 and NGC 7469. We fit the spectra with TCAF and find the corresponding parameters and compare them with other results.
