  Title: A LONG ASCA OBSERVATION OF THE SEYFERT 2 GALAXY NGC1068                         


Abstract:
 We propose a 100ks ASCA observation of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC1068. The ASCA PV
 observation revealed that the soft X-ray emission is dominated by starburst
 emission, and the scattered AGN emission appears above 3 keV. The prominent iron K
 line complex, which consits at least 3 components, are emitted from the scattering
 matter. A recent improved analysis shows eveidence for the Compton shoulder at the
 base of 6.4 keV line, which implies the line is scattered by Compton-thick cold
 matter. Contrary to this, the higher energy lines are believed to be emitted from
 warm, optically thin gas. This proposed long observation provides precise
 measurements of the Compton shoulder and the other line components to study detailed
 physical condition of the nuclear matter in Seyfert 2 nuclei.
