Optical identification of bright sources from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey has led to the discovery of 40 new Seyfert galaxies with very soft X-ray spectra. Nearly half of these are narrow-line Seyfert 1 (Hβ-FWHM < 2000 km/s) with strong optical FeII emission, suggesting the presence of an unseen hard X-ray component. The remainder are Sy1.5 and a few broad-line Sy1.
