Abstract:
    Archived PSPC observations of 26 Seyfert galaxies have been analyzed
    for bright X-ray sources out to the full extent of the field
    (< about 50'). Of all Seyferts known this represents a sample 88%
    complete to B_T_=10mag, 74% complete to 11mag and 50% complete to
    12mag. Using the same reduction algorithm, 14 fields centered on stars
    at high galactic latitudes have been used as control fields. Excluding
    the two brightest Seyferts, a subset of 24 Seyferts with corrected
    apparent magnitude between 8.04<B^o,i^_T_<12.90mag show a minimum
    excess of 46 bright X-ray sources generally distributed between 10 and
    25' from the target galaxy. The significances of association of these
    sources with the Seyferts in the median brightness range are as high
    as 7.4-sigma.
