Announcement from the Suzaku Project Scientist: Suzaku SWG data public release

Suzaku has been observing many interesting objects in these almost two
years after launch. In the first half year, the Suzaku science working
group (SWG) planned observations for the performance verification of
Suzaku with important objects. As mentioned previously, those data
will be released to the public one year after the delivery of the
data, processed using pipeline version 0.7 or later. Therefore, most
of the Suzaku SWG data observed before April 9, 2006 will be open to
the public as of May 27, 2007. There are some exceptions for SWG data
obtained later or those with special circumstances.
