Scientific paper

The observations with Ginga of three bright Seyfert 1 galaxies, MCG-6-30-15, NGC 7469 and IC4329A, revealed the existence of a new hard X-ray component above 8 keV. This component is probably produced by absorption and Compton scattering processes of the central continuum on to very thick cold matter surrounding the central source. Detection of iron fluorescence emission lines between 100 and 200 eV and energy of 6.4 keV in all these objects supports this interpretation.
