Description
I will show the results of the hot corona parameters of active galactic nuclei (AGN) that have been recently measured with NuSTAR in collaboration with other X-rays observatories. In the work I will present, we analyzed values taken from the literature of a sample of 19 bright local Seyfert galaxies to look for correlations between coronal parameters, such as the photon index and cut-off energy or the optical depth and temperature, and other parameters of the systems, such as the black hole mass or the Eddington ratio. Moreover I will give some highlights on how the future IXPE mission (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) could contribute to understand the AGN coronae geometry.
