Scientific paper

With the high sensitivity and spectral resolution of the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA) satellite, we have discovered strong emission lines from the H-like and/or He-like ions of Ne, Mg, Si, and S as well as Fe L and confirmed the complex structure of Fe K line emission in the Seyfert II galaxy NGC 1068. The continuum emission above 3 keV exhibits rather flat shape with no evidence of low energy absorption. The overall X-ray spectrum can be well explained with a model involving starburst activity plus an obscured active galactic nucleus.
