Abstract

The EXOSAT observatory has detected the nucleus of NGC 1360 in four photometric energy bands. The data rules out that the emission is from blackbody origin. Initial fits made with LTE model atmosphere spectra require the presence of highly ionized Oxygen and Neon in the stellar atmosphere.
