    PR # 31197                                                                   
     ASCA observations of Seyfert2s revealed that almost all observed Seyf       
     ert2s have soft-energy component.  However, it is hard to estimate th       
     e contributions of various possible origins to the soft component. Wh       
     at we should do at first is to investigate simple targets which invol       
     ves only one or two origins for it. Then we can apply the results to        
     more complicated targets such as Seyfert2s with nuclear starburst act       
     ivity. We select 3 targets, NGC5674,NGC7496, and NGC3660 as simple ta       
     rgets. The criterion of the selection is not having a "elliptical" pa       
     rent galaxy and not involving nuclear starburst activity. This criter       
     ion is also effective to search emission lines emitted from photoioni       
     zed light elements(Ne, Mg, Si etc.)  in the vicinity of the active nu       
    cleus.
