RXTE hard tails

[Rob Petre <robert.Petre-1@nasa.gov>]

Hi Glenn:
I'm just returning to the US from the Suzaku Science Working Group, 
during which we selected the new targets for the science team time. 
The emphasis of Suzaku science has shifted to two areas:  quality CCD 
spectroscopy of the 0.2-1.0 keV band and sensitive hard X-ray 
spectroscopy.  In our discussions of SNRs, the figure that was shown 
again and again was the compilation of RXTE spectrum that you made 
several years ago.  This hasn't been published except in conference 
proceedings.  Given the Suzaku-driven shift toward hard X-ray SNR 
spectroscopy, I think an ApJ paper based on the RXTE results would 
become a heavily cited reference. I don't know how comfortable you 
are with the results portrayed in that figure.  Is there a chance of 
putting something together over the next couple of months, before the 
Suzaku spectra start appearing?
regards,
Rob
