Abstract

We observed the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 5548 with Chnadra using LETG/HRC. The total effective exposure is 86400 s. We use the zeroth-order light curve to study the time variability of this galaxy on different time scales. We discuss our findings in relation to the spectral properties of the source.
