Abstract: X-rays from BL Lacertae were observed by X-ray astronomy satellite ASCA during 18.6-19.6, July, 1997. The X-ray flux was about four times higher than that observed in 1988 with Ginga and showed variation of factor 2 during the observation. The spectra were of power law type which indices changed in the range of 1.24-1.60. The amplitude of variation in 0.7-1.5 keV was larger than that in 3-7 keV. The spectra can be expressed by superposition of two independently variable power law type spectra which could be attributed to synchrotron and inverse-Compton component respectively. Multifrequency spectrum will also discussed.
