We report some remarkable and unexpected results of optical/UV/X-ray follow-up observations of bright soft X-ray selected AGN from the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey. The majority of these AGN are rather anonymous Seyfert galaxies, mostly of the…

We report on the detection of UV variability and the persistence of X-ray faintness of the X-ray transient Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy WPVS 007 based on the first year of monitoring this AGN with Swift between 2005 October and 2007…

We report on the first detection of hard X-ray photons (E>2.5 keV) in the X-ray transient Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy WPVS 007 which was the AGN with the softest X-ray spectrum during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. The AGN is clearly detected…

We have discovered a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy and identified it with an ultrasoft X-ray source RX 215319-1514 detected with ROSAT. We present its X-ray and optical spectral characteristics. Its redshift is found to be…

Zwicky 159.034, one of the Seyfert galaxies identified with EUV sources detected during the ROSAT Wide Field Camera (WFC) all-sky survey, has unusual properties. The ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) 0.1--2.5 keV X-ray…

We report the discovery of a highly X-ray variable AGN, RX J2217.9-5941. This object was bright during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS), during which a decrease in the count rate by a factor of 12 was observed. It was found to be much…

The Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy RXJ0134.3-4258 was detected during the ROSAT all-sky survey with an ultrasoft spectrum (Greiner 1996). Our later pointed observation led to the discovery of drastic spectral variability. Here, we present the…

We report the discovery and analysis of the follow-up ROSAT pointed observation, an ASCA observation and optical and radio observations of the enigmatic soft X-ray AGN RX J0134.2-4258. In the optical, RX J0134.2-4258 appears as an extreme…

Two optical candidates - a galaxy and a star, are found within the error circle of the X-ray source position of an ultra-soft X-ray source discovered with ROSAT. Optical spectroscopy of the two candidates reveals that a) the galaxy is a…

We report on AGN with extremely soft X-ray spectra observed with ROSAT. From their optical emission lines these objects are classified as narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1), almost all with extremely large Fe II/H-beta ratios and…

We report on multi-wavelength observations of the X-ray transient Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy WPVS 007. The galaxy was monitored with Swift between October 2005 and July 2013, after it had undergone a dramatic drop in its X-ray flux…

We present ROSAT All-Sky Survey and ROSAT pointed observations (PSPC and HRI) of a complete sample of 113 bright soft X-ray AGN selected from the ROSAT Bright Source Catalog. We compare these observations in order to search for extreme…

RE J2248-511 is one of only 14 non-blazar AGN detected in the far ultraviolet by the ROSAT Wide Field Camera implying a large ultrasoft X-ray flux. This soft X-ray excess is strongly variable on year timescales, a common property of Narrow…

We report the discovery and analysis of the follow-up ROSAT pointed observation, an ASCA observation and optical and radio observations of the enigmatic Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy RX J0134.2-4258. While its spectrum was one of the softest…

We report on the discovery of a narrow-emission-line object at z=0.672 detected in a deep ASCA survey. The object, AXJ0341.4-4453, has a flux in the 2--10keV band of 1.1+/-0.27 E-13 erg/s/cm**2, corresponding to a luminosity of 1.8E44 erg/s…

We present the emission line properties of a sample of 76 bright soft X-ray selected ROSAT Active Galactic Nuclei. All optical counterparts are Seyfert 1 galaxies with rather narrow permitted lines, strong optical FeII line blends, and weak…

We investigate the nature of the soft excess below 1 keV observed in AGN. We use the XMM-Newton data of the low redshift, optically bright quasar, PG 1211+143, and we compare it with the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy, 1H 0707-495, which has…

We have discovered four AGN in the ROSAT all-sky-survey data with very steep X-ray spectra. We apply several models to these X-ray spectra with emphasis on warm absorber models which give an adequate description of the data. We report on…

Context. We report the discovery of a new luminous supersoft source, XMMU J005455.0-374117, in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 300, in XMM-Newton observations performed on 2005 May 22 and on 2005 November 25. The source is not present in ROSAT…

I present ASCA observations of IRAS00317-2142, the most luminous (Lx~10^43 erg s-1 0.1-2 keV) of the 'composite' class of galaxies. This enigmatic class of objects presents narrow-emission line optical spectra classifying these galaxies as…
