Through X-ray observations with ASCA, low-luminosity active galactic nuclei have been found in at least seven near-by spiral galaxies. Some of them exhibit very intense, and possibly broad, Fe-K emission lines. Their time variability is relatively insignificant, in contrast to lowluminosity Seyfert galaxies.
