  Title: THE FAILED HICKSON GROUP VV697                                                  


Abstract:
 We are studying a complete flux-limited sample of hard point-like sources from the
 ROSAT all-sky survey. The sample is already 90\% spectroscopically complete and
 comprises about 60 new AGN, mainly local Seyfert galaxies. There is a surprisingly
 large number of interacting systems and narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies with strong
 FE-II emission. VV697 is the most striking example with four galaxies in violent
 interaction. With a 50 ksec ASCA observation we can study the spectrum and time variabi
