List of Tables

• 3.1. Overview of Suzaku capabilities.
• 3.2. Error Budgets of Scientific Instrument Calibrations.
• 4.1. Suzaku time allocated to each group of observers. The ESA time is in parentheses as it is part of the Japanese allotment.
• 6.1. Telescope dimensions and parameters of XRT-I.
• 6.2. Design parameters for the pre-collimator.
• 6.3. Best-fit parameters of the power law model fits to the Crab spectra taken on 2005 September 15-16.
• 6.4. Best-fit parameters of the contemporaneous power-law fits to the Crab spectra taken in 2005 September 15-16.
• 7.1. Effective area and exposure time for different Burst and Window options.
• 7.2. Supported clock mode and option with the SCI.
• 7.3. Major XIS Background Emission Lines (Tawa et al. 2008).
• 7.4. Total count rate which causes the indicated fraction of pile-up at the annulus of the PSF.
• 7.5. Telemetry allocation (kbit/s).
• 7.6. Typical event size after compression [byte].
• 7.7. Maximum counting rates for avoiding the telemetry saturation [counts/s/XIS].
• 7.8. Maximum counting rate for avoiding pile-up.
