Abstract

This paper reports on EXOSAT observations of four bright QSO's and active galaxies. The QSO PHL 1657 has a simple spectrum that can be fit with power law plus some low energy absorption. A soft excess is observed for both MR 2251 and E 1352.24+1830. Finally, PKS 2126-158 was detected and the results are consistent with a 0.7 energy index.
