List of Suzaku Memos
Last updated 2015 October 29
Suzaku Memos are issued by the instrument teams as official and authentic records describing the performance and calibraiton of the observatory and its instruments.
Users who wish to obtain an in-depth understanding of their Suzaku data, beyond those available in the "ABC Guide" and other documents writen specifically for the users, may find these memos useful.
