The Suzaku High Resolution X-Ray Spectrometer

The X-Ray Spectrometer (XRS) has been designed to provide the Suzaku Observatory with non-dispersive, high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy. As designed, the instrument covers the energy range 0.3 to 12 keV, which encompasses the most diagnostically rich part of the x-ray band. The sensor consists of a 32-channel array
