  Title: THE IRON K LINE EMISSION IN THE SEYFERT 2 GALAXY MRK 3                          


Abstract:
 We propose a 60 ks ASCA observation of the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 3. The heavily
 absorbed X-ray continuum of this galaxy shows a large amplitude variability on a
 timescale of a few years. Previous observations suggest the strong iron K line (EW =
 500-1000 eV) has changed in response to the continuum variation. Mrk 3 is the only
 object knwon, showing such significant continuum and line flux variation. Our main
 aim of this observation is to follow the long-term continuum variability, and to
 measure the accompanying line flux change, in order to address a location of the line emitter.
