Scientific paper

The Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 766 has been observed by BeppoSAX on May 1997. The source was fairly variable, both in flux and spectrum, during the observation. The variability is the largest around 2 keV, possibly due to variations in the warm absorber properties. An oxygen line is clearly detected, at least in the first part of the observation. An edge around 7.5 keV, coupled with the lack of any detectable iron line, suggests either reprocessing of the primary X-rays by a mildly ionized disc or absorption by a further, thicker and more ionized material.
