Abstract

The X-ray source 3U 1207+39, associated with the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151, was observed for two days in 1974 November and again for six days in 1976 January by the University College London proportional counter spectrometer on the satellite Ariel-5. The observed intensity was significantly different from that reported from Uhuru data. A model relating the X-ray absorption and optical absorption lines is developed which suggests that the X-ray and optical sources are coincident and that the absorption takes place in a shell approx.5 x 10/sup 14/ cm thick and approx.4 x 10/sup 15/ cm in diameter.
