TL;DR: The JEM-X monitor as discussed by the authors provides X-ray spectra and imaging with arcminute angular resolution in the 3 to 35 keV band with an angular resolution of 3 0 across an eective field of view of about 10 diameter.

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 INTEGRAL Science Data Centre (ISDC) as discussed by the authors provides the IntEGRAL data and means to analyse them to the scientific community and runs a gamma ray burst alert system that provides the position of gamma ray bursts on the sky within seconds to the community.

TL;DR: In this paper, a consistent set of models were used to fit cyclotron resonance scattering features (CRSFs) to the X-ray spectra of all accreting pulsars in the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) database.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a new expression for the critical luminosity, Lcrit, such that radiation pressure decelerates the matter to rest in sources with X-ray luminosity LX > Lcrit.
