   PR # 22150
    We propose to observe the X-ray emitting Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 279    
    to confirm a strong ($\sim$900 eV equivalent width) and highly red-  
    shifted (v=0.11c) Fe K feature that was marginally detected by BBXRT.
    Although the redshift indicates an accretion-disk origin for the Fe K
    line, no present theories of accretion disks can explain such a large
    equivalent width. In contrast, we expect to see strong Fe lines in   
    obscured Seyfert 2 galaxies, but emission from the obviously non-    
    relativistic torus or electron scattering zone will dominate. Clearly
    the Fe K line in Mrk 279 does not match our present models of Seyfert
    nuclei. The ASCA data will allow us to accurately measure the line   
    parameters, thus providing valuable information about the geo
