Recent Ginga observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxies NGC 4051 and MCG 6-30-15 show a positive correlation between the 2 to 10 keV luminosity and photon spectral index alpha. A two-temperature thermal comptonization model with internal soft-photon production provides an explanation for this correlation. The electron temperature, decreases in response to an enhancement of the soft photon flux, resulting in a softening of the spectrum and an increase in the soft X-ray luminosity. The bulk of the soft photons are produced through pion production in collisions between the hot ions. A test of the model would be time correlations between soft and hard X-ray bands.
