TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the spacecraft, in-orbit performance, operations, and data processing that are related to observations of the Suzaku X-ray observatory, including high-sensitivity wide-band Xray spectroscopy.

TL;DR: The hard X-ray detector (HXD) on board Suzaku as discussed by the authors was designed to achieve an extremely low in-orbit background based on a combination of new techniques, including the concept of well-type active shield counter.

TL;DR: X-ray observations of the core of the Perseus cluster reveal a remarkably quiescent atmosphere in which the gas has a line-of-sight velocity dispersion of 164 ± 10 kilometres per second in the region 30–60 kiloparsecs from the central nucleus, infering that a total cluster mass determined from hydrostatic equilibrium in a central region would require little correction for turbulent pressure.

TL;DR: The ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The high resolution X-Ray Spectrometer (XRS) was designed to provide the Suzaku Observatory with very high spectral resolution, non-dispersive spectroscopy from 0.3 to 12 keV as discussed by the authors.
