Scientific paper

We present a comparison of the capabilities of current X-ray satellites as regards their use for high-resolution spectroscopy. Specifically, we focus on figures of merit for the detection and characterization of emission and absorption lines, as functions of the line energy and width. The goal is to give potential users guides for choosing which satellite (e.g., Chandra, XMM, Suzaku) might be best for their science goals. This is presented as part of the special session on high resolution X-ray spectroscopy.
