Scientific paper

The combination of the broad band coverage and moderate spectral resolution of the LECS and MECS instruments on-board BeppoSAX allow the spectra of AGN to be studied in unprecedented detail down to 0.1 keV. We describe the calibration and the performance of the LECS and report on observations of low-energy absorption features in the spectra of both a low (MCG-6-30-15) and a high luminosity (3C 273) AGN. These features provide important diagnostics on the location and nature of the material surrounding the AGN. A comparison of LECS and ASCA/SIS low energy performance is also presented in the case of 3C 273.
